New Trends in Smart Nanostructured Biomaterials in Health Sciences

New Trends in Smart Nanostructured Biomaterials in Health Sciences provides guidance on the design and synthesis of nanostructured smart biomaterials, as well as the resultant therapeutic effects and associated biomedical applications of these novel materials. Nanostructured smart materials have the special ability to respond to changes in the cell microenvironment, allowing for robust, biocompatible and rapidly adaptable, therapeutic and restorative action against a range of ailments. These materials are thus ideal candidates for use in tissue engineering and cancer therapy, due the varying nature of the cell microenvironment between persons, tissues and cancers. This book covers the design, synthesis, unique properties and application of smart biomaterials in these two key topic areas of tissue engineering and cancer therapeutics. A range of tissue types and their interaction with smart biomaterials is covered, from neural tissue to bone tissue, as well as a variety of cancer therapies to treat primary tumors, circulating cancer cells and metastases. New Trends in Smart Nanostructured Biomaterials in Health Sciences provides readers with a deeper understanding of these novel biomaterials and aids them in making informed decisions when selecting appropriate materials for tissue engineering and cancer therapy applications. This book will this be of interest to materials scientists, biomedical engineers, oncological scientists, tissue engineers and those working in regenerative medicine. Presents an overview of how smart biomaterials respond to changes in physiological factors and exogeneous stimuli, and their impact in modern medicine Provides readers with the basis for designing, processing and characterizing advanced smart biomaterials Guides the reader through the mechanisms of tissue repair and cancer therapeutics by exploring the relevant features of smart nanostructured materials INDICE: 1.
