Beschreibung
This cutting-edge book focuses on the emerging area ofbiomaterials and biodevices that incorporate therapeutic agents,molecular targeting, and diagnostic imaging capabilities
The design and development of biomaterials play a significantrole in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. Whenused with highly selective and sensitive biomaterials, cutting-edgebiodevices can allow the rapid and accurate diagnosis of disease,creating a platform for research and development, especially in thefield of treatment for prognosis and detection of diseases in theearly stage. This book emphasizes the emerging area of biomaterialsand biodevices that incorporate therapeutic agents, moleculartargeting, and diagnostic imaging capabilities.
The 15 comprehensive chapters written by leading experts coversuch topics as:
* The use of severe plastic deformation technique to enhance theproperties of nanostructured metals
* Descriptions of the different polymers for use in controlleddrug release
* Chitin and chitosan as renewable healthcare biopolymers forbiomedical applications
* Innovated devices such as "label-free biochips" andpolymer MEMS
* Molecular imprinting and nanotechnology
* Prussian Blue biosensing applications
* The evaluation of different types of biosensors in terms oftheir cost effectiveness, selectivity, and sensitivity
* Stimuli-responsive polypeptide nanocarriers for malignancytherapeutics
