Both a text and a how-to, this resource details the fundamental and applied aspects of nanomedicine. A seperate section also deals with "Experiments In Nanoscience and Nanotechnology," helping professors design experiments for graduate and undergraduate classes. The coverage highlights all aspects related to the chemistry, physics, and biology of nanoparticles including: size relationship of nanoparticles with biological cells, diagnostic/therapeutic properties of specific nanoparticles, targeting vectors for tumor cells/tumor tissue, potential applications to other diseases, and the ability of nanotechnology to detect and treat cancer and other diseases in their earliest stages.
