Smart Nanomaterials for Infectious Diseases
The book focuses on how sustainable nanomaterials can help with various aspects of infectious diseases, including prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as the characteristics that materials should possess in order to enter clinical trials.
Cardiovascular Nanomedicine
The integration of nanoparticles with classical drugs to create biocompatible delivery platforms for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases can make a major impact on patient welfare. Traditional drug delivery systems are not selective and induce severe collateral damage to surrounding non-diseased cells and tissues. Nanoparticles, however, can be bio-conjugated with antibodies to encapsulate cardiovascular drugs, gaseous molecules and biomolecules to selectively deliver them in a safe, targeted and cost-effective manner. This book provides in-depth and insightful discussion on the mechanistic, pre-clinical and clinical applications of nanomedicine in cardiovascular disease. It not only discusses core chemical concepts via the synthesis of novel nanotechnology-based drug formulations, but also covers the latest drug delivery advances including innovative therapeutic targets in cardiovascular lesions at an early, curable and reversible stage. Written by experts in the field, students and researchers will find this book equally useful for understanding the trends and challenges of the clinical translation of cardiovascular nanomedicine.
Microfluidic Devices in Nanotechnology
Explores the latest applications arising from the intersection of nanotechnology and microfluidics In the past two decades, microfluidics research has seen phenomenal growth, with many new and emerging applications in fields ranging from chemistry, physics, and biology to engineering. With the emergence of nanotechnology, microfluidics is currently undergoing dramatic changes, embracing the rising field of nanofluidics. This volume reviews the latest devices and applications stemming from the merging of nanotechnology with microfludics in such areas as drug discovery, bio-sensing, catalysis, electrophoresis, enzymatic reactions, and nanomaterial synthesis. Each of the ten chapters is written...
Multifunctional Hydrogels
Hydrogels are important polymer-based materials with innate fascinating properties and applications: they are three-dimensional, hydrophilic, polymeric networks that can absorb large amounts of water or aqueous fluids and are biocompatible, mechanically flexible, and soft. The incorporation of functionalities to develop smart and bioactive platforms has led to a myriad of applications. This book offers a comprehensive overview of multifunctional hydrogels, covering fundamentals, properties, and advanced applications in a progressive way. While each chapter can be read stand-alone, together they clearly describe the fundamental concepts of design, synthesis, and fabrication, as well as proper...

It is an invaluable reference for experts in the field to consolidate knowledge, provide insight and inspiration to beginners wishing to learn about magnetic nanoparticles. Written at an accessible level suitable for all researchers in materials science, including physicists, biologists, and engineers.
Optical Microendoscopy for Imaging Cells Lying Deep Within Live Tissue
Optical microendoscopy is an emerging modality for imaging in live subjects. Using gradient refractive index (GRIN) microlenses, microendoscopy enables subcellular-resolution imaging in deep tissues that are inaccessible by traditional imaging techniques. We present a platform of methods and technologies that build upon GRIN microendoscopy: 1) miniaturized microscopes for imaging in awake, behaving animals, 2) methods for imaging contractile dynamics in the muscles of animal and human subjects, 3) chronic brain preparations that allow for longitudinal examinations of subcellular neuronal features and disease progression, and 4) novel microendoscope probes whose imaging capabilities approach that of standard water-immersion microscope objectives. When combined with the broad sets of available fluorescent reporters, and minimally invasive surgical preparations, the work described in this dissertation enables sophisticated experimental designs for probing how cellular char- acteristics may underlie or explain behavior, in models of both healthy and diseased states.
