Cancer Therapy (eBook, ePUB)

Potential Applications of Nanotechnology

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

While there have been a large number of ongoing research projects and publications on the treatment of cancer, there is a limited number of books related to nanotechnology with emphasis on polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapy. The book, covering all of the recent research work done on this basis, enlightens researchers and students with the benefits of polymeric nanomaterials in cancer. This book provides exhaustive knowledge on polymeric nanoparticles and cancer.

• Provides a complete overview of the application of different polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapeutics: from characterization of nanoparticles to in vitro and in vivo studies.
• Contains a detailed description of the delivery of therapeutic molecules with different polymers realized with nanomedicine in cancer therapeutics.
• Discusses newly developed promising polymers in cancer.
• Describes polymeric nanoparticle and their role in theranostics pertaining to cancer.
• Reviews clinical relevance of different polymeric formulations in the field of cancer

Autorenporträt

Dr. Surendra Nimesh did PhD in nanotechnology from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Science Research, University of Delhi and CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, Delhi, India. He did postdoctorate at Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal, Montreal; Clinical Research Institute of Montreal, Montreal and Health Canada, Ottawa, Canada. He has published several research and review articles and authored/coauthored seven books that includes two Elsevier books: The Design and Development of Novel Drugs and Vaccines (2021) and Gene Therapy: Potential Applications of Nanotechnology (2013). He is an internationally recognized expert of nanotechnology for biological applications with specialization in drug and gene delivery.Dr. Nidhi Gupta received PhD degree in virology from the National Institute of Immunology and Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. She did doctoral research at Clinical Research Institute of Montreal, Montreal, and McGill University, Montreal, Canada. She has several research and review articles to her credit along with three authored/coauthored books. Her field of interest includes catalytic nucleic acids, siRNA, antisense, and nanomedicine.Dr. Guilherme Carneiro did PhD in pharmaceutical sciences from Dr. L.A.M Ferreira in the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. After completing the doctoral research, he joined the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys, Brazil, as an assistant professor. His field of research includes lipid nanocarriers, hydrophobic ion pairing, cancer chemotherapy, skin permeation, neglected diseases (e.g., leishmaniasis, Chagas' disease), cosmetics, and food and packaging application.
