Nanomaterials and Nanomachines for Drug Delivery

Nanomaterials and Nanomachines for Drug Delivery: Underpinning Science and Technology

offers a detailed review of the benefits and challenges of nanomachines for drug delivery applications.

Nanomachines are molecular machines that are capable of producing quasi-mechanical motion in response to provided stimuli; they are highly beneficial in drug delivery due to their precise targeting and enhanced efficacy.

This book provides an introduction to nanotechnology and nanomedicine, with a detailed look at drug delivery mechanisms and specialized nanomaterials used.

A wide range of applications is covered, including inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and autoimmune diseases, as well as metabolic disorders and cancer treatment.

The health, environmental impact and safety regulations of nanomachines is also discussed, providing a holistic perspective of the field.
