Nanoparticles for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications
This special issue belongs to the section "B3: Nanoparticles in Biomedicine".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of nanoparticles in biomedical studies has resulted in several promising applications under the field of nanomedicine. Nanomedicine, an offshoot of nanotechnology is the science and technology of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease and traumatic injury, of relieving pain, and of preserving and improving human health, using molecular tools and molecular knowledge of the human body. Benefits in the use of nanoparticles for therapeutic delivery and diagnosis have been realized, examples include improved drug circulation times, enhanced intratumorally retention, and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. The nanomedicine field is not limited to applications in drug therapy but can also be instrumental in diagnosing and monitoring diseases. This Special Issue on “Nanoparticles for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications” can provide a wide collection of recent research on nanoparticles as agent carriers, diagnosis, therapeutics, and microfluidic-based applications.
