There is a clear need for innovative technologies to improve the delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents in the body. Recent breakthroughs in nanomedicine are now making it possible to deliver drugs and therapeutic proteins to local areas of disease or tumors to maximize clinical benefit while limiting unwanted side effects. Nanomedicine in Drug Delivery gives an overview of aspects of nanomedicine to help readers design and develop novel drug delivery systems and devices that build on nanoscale technologies.Featuring contributions by leading researchers from around the world, the book examines:The integration of nanoparticles with therapeutic agentsThe synthesis and characterization of nanoencapsulated drug particlesTargeted pulmonary nanomedicine delivery using inhalation aerosolsThe use of biological systems—bacteria, cells, viruses, and virus-like particles—as carriers to deliver nanoparticlesNanodermatology and the role of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseaseNanoparticles for the delivery of small molecules, such as for gene and vaccine deliveryThe use of nanotechnologies to modulate and modify wound healingNanoparticles in bioimaging, including magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and molecular imagingNanoparticles to enhance the efficiency of existing anticancer drugsThe development of nanoparticle formulationsNanoparticles for ocular drug deliveryNanoparticle toxicity, including routes of exposure and mechanisms of toxicityThe use of animal and cellular models in nanoparticles safety studies With its practical focus on the design, synthesis, and application of nanomedicine in drug delivery, this book is a valuable resource for clinical researchers and anyone working to tackle the challenges of delivering drugs in a more targeted and efficient manner. It explores a wide range of promising approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases using cutting-edge nanotechnologies.

Nanotechnology in Dermatology is the first book of its kind to address all of the important and rapidly growing aspects of nanotechnology as it relates to dermatology. In the last few years there has been an explosion in research and development for products and devices related to nanotechnology, including numerous applications for consumers, physicians, patients, and industry.  Applications are underway in medicine and dermatology for the early detection, diagnosis, and targeted therapy of disease, and nanodesigned materials and devices are expected to be faster, smaller, more powerful, more efficient, and more versatile than their traditional counterparts.  Written by experts working in this exciting field, Nanotechnology in Dermatology specifically addresses nanotechnology in consumer skin care products, in the diagnosis of skin disease, in the treatment of skin disease, and the overall safety of nanotechnology. The book also discusses future trends of this ever-growing and changing field, providing dermatologists, pharmaceutical companies, and consumer cosmetics companies with a clear understanding of the advantages and challenges of nanotechnology today.
