Biological and Pharmaceutical Applications of Nanomaterials (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Prokopovich, Polina

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers stimuli-responsive nanostructured silica matrixes, gold nanoparticles, and liposomes for drug delivery and dental applications. It describes the use of nanocarriers and nanoparticles as cancer and peptide therapeutics, the influence of surface characteristics on microbial adhesion, and the latest developments in antimicrobial nanostructured polymers for medical applications. It also discusses recent advances in nanodiagnostic techniques for infectious agents, chromogenic biosensors for pathogen detection, electrochemical biosensors for detecting DNA damage and genotoxicity, and molecular imaging with quantum dots including surface modifications by polymers for biosensing applications.
