Nano Physical Pharmaceutics

<p>Nanomedicine is an emerging and rapidly evolving field which could significantly help in early disease diagnosis therapeutic improvement novel therapeutic modality development and medical expenditure reduction. The challenge remains however that the specially designed and carefully synthesized nanomedicines function poorly in animal verification despite great performance in vitro. A deeper understanding of the physicochemical properties of nanomedicine is the key.</p><p>This book applies physical theories and models to determine the parameters for controlling the physicochemical properties of nanomedicines including micelles liposomes and inorganic nanoparticles. Qualitative and quantitative relationships are established to provide guidance for nanomedicine design characterization and analysis. The text also compiles cutting-edge research in nanomedicine from the interdisciplinary team of the Department of Nanomedicine at Naval Medical University China which is currently establishing the characteristic discipline called Nano Physical Pharmaceutics. Edited by Wei Li a prominent nanotechnology researcher this book will appeal to anyone involved in nanotechnology medicine macromolecular science biology chemistry and especially those with an interest in drug delivery or cancer therapy.</p>
