Download Nanotechnology in Therapeutics: Basics and Trends 2024
Nanotechnology in Therapeutics: Basics and Trends by Dennis Douroumis book pdf download, explores the idea that by studying in depth the behavior of living organisms, especially the functionality of their cell membranes, we can develop and evaluate innovative bio-inspired nanosystems that are able to deliver small molecules, biomolecules like proteins, peptides, and other genetic material in terms of the production of new therapies and vaccines. The main concept promoted in this book is an integrated approach for producing new medicines following the nanotoxicity, biotoxicity, regulatory, and ethical guidelines, which are also covered in the book.
The book is divided into three parts:
- Part A provides an introduction and a historical overview of nanotechnology.
- Part B delves deeper into issues relating to lipid and polymeric nanostructures in medicine.
- Part C presents the regulatory landscape around nanotechnology and nanomedicine, while highlighting the need to keep an eye on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Overall, this book opens up biomedical applications for previously challenging drugs and drug targets.
- Eukaryotic cell membranes, their structural properties, and the thermodynamic payload of their lipid bilayers
- The DLVO (Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey and Overbeek) theory as a scientific tool for studying the stability and the behavior of nanoparticles
- Liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, and solid lipid nanoparticles, as well as polymeric nanoparticles, like micelles, polymersomes, and dendrimers
- Issues in the approval process of nanomedicines by the regulatory agencies, such as complexity, chaos, and nonlinear dynamics
