Targeting Intercellular Communication with Nanomedicine and Advanced Therapeutics provides a thorough exploration of intercellular communication and its impact on modern therapeutic approaches. The book addresses the complex interactions between cells, which play a critical role in the development and progression of diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, and inflammatory or immune conditions. By offering a well-rounded perspective, it fills a crucial gap in our understanding of how various communication mechanisms intersect and influence both disease pathology and treatment strategies, making it a valuable reference for researchers and professionals in drug development and delivery.
In addition to its comprehensive overview, the book is systematically organized into fourteen chapters covering key topics such as biological targets, overcoming biological barriers, and mechanisms of internalization. It offers detailed discussions on tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, and the interface between immune and non-immune systems across different diseases. The text also examines the significance of mitochondrial exchange and the crosstalk among different forms of intercellular communication.
