Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery Applications [electronic resource] : Imaging, Targeting, and Delivery /
Svenson, Sonke.editor.
Prud'homme, Robert K.editor.
This book clearly demonstrates the progression of nanoparticle therapeutics from basic research to applications. Unlike other books covering nanoparticles used in medical applications, Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery Applications presents the medical challenges that can be reduced or even overcome by recent advances in nanoscale drug delivery. Each chapter highlights recent progress in the design and engineering of select multifunctional nanoparticles with topics covering targeting, imaging, delivery, diagnostics, and therapy.
Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Benefits and Challenges for Multifunctional Nanoparticles in Medicine -- Targeting and Imaging -- Mulple Imaging Mods -- Targeting and Drug Delivery -- Dual and Multiple Drug Delivery -- Diagnostic and Therapy (“Theranostics”) -- Conclusions and Outlook.
