Sommario/riassunto

This book takes a systematic approach to address the gaps relating to nanomedicine and bring together fragmented knowledge on the advances on nanomaterials and their biomedical applicability. In particular, it demonstrates an exclusive compilation of state of the art research with a focus on fundamental concepts, current trends, limitations, and future directions of nanomedicine.
