Opis

Applications of nanotechnology in the screening, diagnosis and treatment of disease are collectively referred to as "nanomedicine"-an emerging field that has the potential to revolutionize individual and population-based health in the 21st century. Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that covers a vast and diverse array of devices derived from engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology. The new field of nanotechnology, opened up by rapid advances in science and technology, creates myriad new opportunities for advancing medical science and disease treatment in human health care. Applications of nanotechnology to medicine and physiology imply materials and devices designed to interact with the body at subcellular (i.e., molecular) scales with maximal therapeutic efficacy and minimal side effects. Therefore it is essential to investigate and explore the potential applications and its impacts of nanomedicine through the lens of public health. In this book the scientific and technical aspects of nanotechnology are introduced, and some of its potential clinical applications are discussed.
