This forward-looking book focuses on the recent advances in
nanomedicine and drug delivery. It outlines the extraordinary new
tools that have become available in nanomedicine and presents an
integrated set of perspectives that describe where we are now and
where we should be headed to put nanomedicine devices into
applications as quickly as possible, while also considering the
possible dangers of nanomedicine. The book considers the full range
of nanomedicinal applications that employ molecular nanotechnology
inside the human body, from the perspective of a future
practitioner in an era of widely available nanomedicine. Written by
some of the most innnovative minds in medicine and engineering,
this unique volume will help professionals understand cutting-edge
and futuristic areas of research that can have tremendous payoff in
terms of improving human health. Readers will find insightful
discussions of nanostructured intelligent materials and devices
that are considered technically feasible and which have a high
potential to produce advances in medicine in the near future.
Topics include: Health benefits of phytochemicals and the
application of colloidal delivery systems Study of non-covalent
attachment of recombinant targeting proteins to polymer-modified
Adenoviral gene delivery vectors The role of nanoparticles as
adjuvants for mucosal vaccine delivery Poly(amido-amine)s as
delivery styems for biologically active substances Antimicrobial
activity of silver nanoparticles Nanomedicine in the use of cancer
treatment Dendrimers, capsules based on lipid vesicles for drug
delivery Many other recent achievements
Natural Polymers, Biopolymers, Biomaterials, and Their Composites,
Blends, and IPNs focuses on the recent advances in natural
polymers, biopolymers, biomaterials, and their composites, blends,
and IPNs. Biobased polymer blends and composites occupy a unique
position in the dynamic world of new biomaterials. The growing need
for lubricious coatings and surfaces in medical devices-an outcome
of the move from invasive to noninvasive medicines/procedures-is
playing a major role in the advancement of biomaterials technology.
Natural polymers have attained their cutting-edge technology
through various platforms, yet there is a lot of novel information
about them that is discussed in the book. This important work
covers topics such as chitosan composites for biomedical
applications and wastewater treatment, coal biotechnology,
biomedical and related applications of second generation
polyamidoamines, silk fibers, PEG hydrogels, bamboo fiber
reinforced PE composites, jute/polyester composites, magnetic
biofoams, and many other interesting aspects of importance to
polymer research today.
This book presents a wealth of information and research about the
most potent cancer healing therapies, focusing particularly how
nanomedicine, holistic medicine, and other cancer therapies play
important roles in treating cancer. Nanotechnology has the power to
radically change the way cancer is diagnosed, imaged, and treated.
The holistic approach to cancer involves noninvasive procedures
focused upon restoring the health of human energy fields.

Tissue engineering involves seeding of cells on bio-mimicked
scaffolds providing adhesive surfaces. Researchers though face a
range of problems in generating tissue which can be circumvented by
employing nanotechnology. It provides substrates for cell adhesion
and proliferation and agents for cell growth and can be used to
create nanostructures and nanoparticles to aid the engineering of
different types of tissue. Written by renowned scientists from
academia and industry, this book covers the recent developments,
trends and innovations in the application of nanotechnologies in
tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It provides
information on methodologies for designing and using biomaterials
to regenerate tissue, on novel nano-textured surface features of
materials (nano-structured polymers and metals e.g.) as well as on
theranostics, immunology and nano-toxicology aspects. In the book
also explained are fabrication techniques for production of
scaffolds to a series of tissue-specific applications of scaffolds
in tissue engineering for specific biomaterials and several types
of tissue (such as skin bone, cartilage, vascular, cardiac, bladder
and brain tissue). Furthermore, developments in nano drug delivery,
gene therapy and cancer nanotechonology are described. The book
helps readers to gain a working knowledge about the nanotechnology
aspects of tissue engineering and will be of great use to those
involved in building specific tissue substitutes in reaching their
objective in a more efficient way. It is aimed for R&D and
academic scientists, lab engineers, lecturers and PhD students
engaged in the fields of tissue engineering or more generally
regenerative medicine, nanomedicine, medical devices,
nanofabrication, biofabrication, nano- and biomaterials and
biomedical engineering.
