Opis

Offering the latest information in magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) research, Magnetic Nanoparticles: From Fabrication to Clinical Applications provides a comprehensive review, from synthesis, characterization, and biofunctionalization to clinical applications of MNPs, including the diagnosis and treatment of cancers. This book, written by some of the most qualified experts in the field, not only fills a hole in the literature, but also bridges the gaps between all the different areas in this field. Translational research on tailored magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications spans a variety of disciplines, and putting together the most significant advances into a practical format is a challenging task. Balancing clinical applications with the underlying theory and foundational science behind these new discoveries, Magnetic Nanoparticles: From Fabrication to Clinical Applications supplies a toolbox of solutions and ideas for scientists in the field and for young researchers interested in magnetic nanoparticles.

Recenzje

"Before reading this book, my expectations were high and editor Nguyen Thanh and her team of 65 (!) contributors did not disappoint. They wrote the new standard in the field of magnetic nanoparticles. … The chapters are as up-to-date as possible and written by true experts who have carefully reviewed the current state-of-the-art and provided the context, history, and uses of magnetic nanoparticles in each of the fields covered.

I personally think that every graduate student working on a magnetic nanoparticle-related project should read it cover to cover. … The book is also compulsory reading for any scientist who believes that magnetic nanoparticles might enhance their research or give them a better chance of getting grant funding. … In short, it was a pleasure to read and review this book, and I recommend it to anyone interested in the ever-expanding research field of magnetic nanoparticles."
