Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biomedical nanotechnology is one of the fastest-growing fields of research
across the globe. However, even the most promising technologies may never
realize their full potential if public and political opinions are galvanized
against them, a situation clearly evident in such controversial fields as
cloning and stem cell research. Biomedical Nanotechnology presents state-of-the
-art research in the field and also considers the socio-political risks and
perceptions of this important science. Contributed by prominent experts in this
expansive and interdisciplinary field, Biomedical Nanotechnology examines
developments in three sub-fields: nanodrugs and drug delivery; prostheses and
implants; and diagnostics and screening technologies. The authors compare new
capabilities introduced by nanotechnology to traditional methods of release,
target, and controlled drug delivery in the body. They also consider the
challenge of understanding and controlling the biological processes involved
upon implantation and discuss nanoscale sensors for biological chemical
detection and biodefense. The book concludes with individual chapters devoted to
the social and economic context of nanotechnologies and to their potential risks
and possible solutions. By outlining cutting-edge research in the context of
pressing global medical needs and potential risks, this authoritative reference
supplies a holistic treatment of biomedical nanotechnology that enables us to
understand its implications and decide the best way to move forward.
