Innovative Nanocarriers for Stimulated Drug Delivery: A Comprehensive Guide to Stimuli-responsive Nanoparticles summarizes recent advances and achievements in nanocarriers responsive to external or internal stimuli. The book presents different stimuli-sensitive strategies and their applications in drug delivery, therapy, and theranostics. Sections provide fundamental knowledge on the experiential and experimental aspects of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, discuss external-responsive nanocarriers for biomedical applications, such as ultrasound, thermal, magnetic, light, and electric field-response systems, and describe internal stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for biomedical applications, including pH, hypoxia, redox potential, enzyme, glucose, and microRNA-responsive nanocarriers.
Additionally, the book covers dual and multimodal-responsive nanocarriers and the therapeutic aspects of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, such as metallic and non-metallic stimuli-responsive nanocarriers in the treatment of various cancer and noncancerous diseases. Finally, recent advances and regulatory aspects of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, including clinical translation, challenges, biological toxicity, safety issues, clinical trials, and future perspectives are covered.
