"The medical field has been most significantly influenced by the widespread use of noble metal nanoparticles, nanocompounds, or nanostructures in many fields of research and technology. . . . This volume consolidate[s] the findings from years of study to present the most exciting applications of metal-based drugs in modern biological and medical research. Offer[s] an interesting union of disciplines, bringing together the hard science of inorganic chemistry with the complexities and variety of biochemistry and physiology. . . . An excellent resource for educators as well as learners with undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate degrees in biomedical field."—From the Foreword by Prof. Roop Krishen Khar Director, B. S.
