Nanomedicine in Drug Delivery

Focusing exclusively on the design, synthesis, and application of nanoparticles in a range of applications, this book illustrates how nanotechnology can tackle drug delivery challenges as well as addressing the uses of nanotechnology for both diagnosis and treatment of disease. It addresses nanoparticulate use in several biomedical applications including administration routes, controlled release, and MRI contrast enhancement. Drawing on contributions by leading experts in the field, it presents a wide range of clinical applications supported by examples and case studies.
