This book focuses on the application of nanotechnology in medicine
and drug delivery, including diagnosis and therapy. Nanomedicine
can contribute to the development of a personalized medicine both
for diagnosis and therapy. By interacting with biological molecules
at nanoscale level, nanotechnology opens up an immense field of
research and applications. Interactions between artificial
molecular assemblies or nanodevices and biomolecules can be
understood both in the extracellular medium and inside human cells.
Operating at nanoscale allows exploitation of physical properties
different from those observed at microscale, such as the volume to
surface area ratio. A number of clinical applications of
nanobiotechnology, such as disease diagnosis, target-specific drug
delivery, and molecular imaging are being investigated. Some
promising new products are also undergoing clinical trials. Such
advanced applications of this approach to biological systems will
undoubtedly transform the foundations of diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention of disease in the future. Nanomedicine sales reached $16
billion in 2015, with a minimum of $3.8 billion in nanotechnology
R&D being invested each year. Global funding for emerging
nanotechnology increased by 45% per year in recent years, with
product sales exceeding $1 trillion in 2013. As the nanomedicine
industry continues to grow, it is expected to have a significant
impact on the global economy. This book provides clear, colorful
and simple illustrations, tables, and case studies to clearly
convey the content to a general audience and reader. This book also
discusses the development of nanobiomaterials from biogenic
(biological sources) systems for healthcare and disease therapies.
This book, therefore, is useful for researchers and academicians in
the fields of nanotechnology, medicine, nano-biotechnology and
pharmacology.
