- Summary:
- This cutting-edge work focuses on the biomedical applications of nanotechnology in three disciplines: nanodrugs and drug delivery; prostheses and implants; and diagnostics and screening technologies. In describing the nanotechnology applications associated with each, leading experts discuss recent research including their own, which involves gene therapy, cancer treatments, hip replacement coatings, cantilever biochemical sensors, and lab-on-a-chip techniques. Along with this technical discussion, Biomedical Nanotechnology presents an illuminating discourse on this technology, discussing potential and perceived risks, while also addressing the social and economic context of nanotech research.
