The Biological and Biomedical Nanoparticles-Applications

Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

Particles with diameters in the range of 2 to 100 nm, so-called nanocrystalline materials, have become a major interdisciplinary area of research during recent decades. In fact, since the seventeenth century, noble metallic nanomaterials, though not understood, have been obtained and used to give rise to a brilliant rose color throughout Europe in stained glass windows of cathedrals and by the ...

Biomedical applications of inorganic nanoparticles

In the last two decades, a large number of nanoscale and nanostructure-based therapeutic and diagnostic agents have been developed, not only for cancer treatment but also for its prevention and diagnosis. Targeted cancer, hyperthermia, photodynamic and gene therapies are just some of the cancer treatments that use engineered nanomaterials. These therapies can be used in isolation or in combinat...
