This book provides a comprehensive overview of the potential use of
graphene-based materials in two important societal areas: medicine
and the environment. It discusses how new graphene-based materials
can be creatively used for biological purposes, for example as
delivery vehicles for diagnostics or therapeutics, ultrasensitive
sensors, smart responsive substrates for artificial-tissue design
and biomarkers. Moreover, it presents new insights into their use
as sorbent or photocatalytic materials for environmental
decontamination in water and gas-phase desalination membranes and
as sensors for contaminant monitoring, giving relevance to the
current discussions on the possible toxicological effects of
graphene-based materials.
This book presents a systematic overview of the most relevant
nanomaterials and their respective intrinsic properties that have
been highly explored by the scientific community and pharmaceutical
companies in several different modalities for cancer therapy and
bioimaging. The chapters explore the synergistic effects provided
by the different nanostructured materials and highlight the main in
vitro and in vivo therapeutic achievements on cancer. This work
also provides relevant discussion about the recent progresses and
future challenges that nanotechnology faces on the conception of
more efficient nanoformulations against primary tumors, circulating
cancer cells and metastases.

New Trends in Smart Nanostructured Biomaterials in Health Sciences
provides guidance on the design and synthesis of nanostructured
smart biomaterials, as well as the resultant therapeutic effects
and associated biomedical applications of these novel materials.
The book provides readers with a deeper understanding of these
novel biomaterials and aids them in making informed decisions when
selecting appropriate materials for tissue engineering and cancer
therapy applications. It will be of specific interest to materials
scientists, biomedical engineers, oncological scientists, tissue
engineers and those working in regenerative medicine.
Nanostructured smart materials have the special ability to respond
to changes in the cell microenvironment, allowing for robust,
biocompatible and rapidly adaptable, therapeutic and restorative
action against a range of ailments. These materials are thus ideal
candidates for use in tissue engineering and cancer therapy due to
the varying nature of the cell microenvironment between persons,
tissues and cancers. This book covers the design, synthesis, unique
properties and application of smart biomaterials in these two key
topic areas of tissue engineering and cancer therapeutics.
