Description
Description
Design and Applications of Theranostic Nanomedicines reviews the composition and design of various nanomedicines for theranostic applications, helping readers to make informed decisions when exploring novel treatments for disease.
This book introduces readers to theranostic nanostructures as nanomedicines, beginning with a balanced look at the associated challenges, costs and benefits. The next section goes on to detail a range of different theranostic nanomedicines and their design, from nanodispersions and nanogels to exosomes and polymeric micelles. A variety of applications is covered, including in the treatment of pulmonary diseases, neurological disorders, cancers and more. The book also takes a look at the toxicological implications of nanotheranostics, an important aspect of any therapy or treatment.
Design and Applications of Theranostic Nanomedicines provides a snapshot of the state-of-the-art, and will be of use to materials scientists, biomedical engineers and pharmaceutical scientists with an interest in nanotechnology and theranostics.
