Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapeutic Applications, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapeutic Applications: Design and Challenges describes the use of multifunctional nanoparticles for cancer treatment, highlighting their toxicological evaluation and opportunities for prospective clinical therapeutic development. Besides significant research and clinical success, cancer nanomedicines currently face challenges towards clinical translation and this book aims to shed a light on complex issues. Sections discuss synthetic strategies and functionalization of nanoparticles, routes of administration, biological barriers and how to overcome them, nanoparticles for cancer treatment available in the market, active targeting approach, non-viral gene-based therapy with multifunctional nanoparticles, and the use of nanoparticles in immunotherapy. In addition, the book covers image guided cancer therapy, stem cell targeted therapy, and toxicity. This is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, clinicians, and members of the biomedical field who need to understand the potential of multifunctional nanoparticles in cancer drug delivery, diagnosis, and treatment.
