Advances in Nanomedicine: Nanofibres in Drug Delivery Michael Mason

Nanofibres are fibres that measure a billionth of a metre. They have different properties and applications since they are generated from different polymers. Nanomedicine is a branch of medicine that applies nanotechnology to the field of medicine. The applications range from preventing diseases to imaging, diagnosing, monitoring, treating, and regenerating biological systems. The usage of nanofibres in drug delivery significantly lowers the overall drug consumption and reduces the side-effects, and thereby decreases the treatment expenses. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to nanomedicine. The various advancements in drug delivery using nanotechnology are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
