Chapters

Chapter 1

Ion Channels, Nanomechanics, and Nanomedicine (pages 1-18)

Keka Talukdar

Ion channels are naturally occurring pores found in all living organisms. These may be of different types, activated by many stimuli, but their addition or alteration may cause serious physiological issues. They allow some ions to...

Chapter 2

Analysis of the Bacterial Vesicles' Enhanced Toxicological Threat Via Electron Microscopy (pages 19-43)

Roberta Curia, Marziale Milani, Lyubov V Didenko, George A Avtandilov, Natalia V Shevlyagina, Francesco Tatti

This study shows the importance of electron microscopy in the analysis of the interaction of microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus) with polymeric (polyurethane) dental prostheses. Starting from the biofilm formation and the...

Chapter 3

Applications of Polymeric Micro- and Nano-Particles in Dentistry (pages 44-77)

Balasankar Meera Priyadarshini, Nileshkumar Dubey

The use of micro- and nanoparticles is rapidly advancing and has been most commonly used in medical and biological research that offers an encouraging scope in broad range of disciplines. Manipulation of the biomaterials to their...

Chapter 4

Sensing the Presence and Amount of Microbes Using Double Walled Carbon Nanotubes (pages 78-117)

Anand Y Joshi, Ajay M Patel

The principle of mass detection using nano biosensors is based on the fact that the resonant frequency is very much sensitive to the mass of the bio-molecule, as with mass changes stiffness varies. The change of the attached mass on...

Chapter 5

CNS Targeted Nanoparticle Drug Delivery: CNS Drug Delivery (pages 118-139)

Dimple Sethi Chopra

The idea of formulating brain permeable nanoparticles stems from the need to treat various neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, depression and brain tumors. Neuropeptides...

Chapter 6

Silver Oxide–Copper Oxide Nanocomposite Preparation and Antimicrobial Activity as a Source for the Treatment of Fish Diseases: Silver Oxide–Copper Oxide Nanocomposite Preparation and Antimicrobial Activity (pages 140-151)

Sayed Reza Shaffiey, Sayedeh Fatemeh Shaffiey

Aeromonas hydrophila is a heterotrophic, gram negative bacterium which is primary or secondary cause of ulcers, fin rot, tail rot, and hemorrhagic septicaemia in fish. The treatments for this infection are only restricted to some...

Chapter 7

Performance Analysis of FET-Based Nanoiosensors by Computational Method (pages 152-183)

Keka Talukdar, Anil Shantappa Malipatil

Human body has a hierarchy of structures. There are many organs which are affected much earlier by a disease when it is detected. Most modern sensors can detect anomalies when its concentration in the body fluid reaches to millimolar...

Chapter 8

Self-Setting Calcium Phosphate Bone Cement Preparation, Characterization and Drug Delivery for Skeletal System: Self-Setting Calcium Phosphate Bone Cement (pages 184-199)

Sayed Reza Shaffiey, Sayedeh Fatemeh Shaffiey

The reactivity of acid base cements forming hydroxyapatite (HA) such as, ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) and dicalcium phosphate dehydrate (DCPD). Amorphous calcium phosphates, prepared by precipitation from supersaturated solutions...

Chapter 9

Mineralized Nanofibers for Bone Tissue Engineering (pages 200-218)

Ozan Karaman

The limitation of orthopedic fractures and large bone defects treatments has brought the focus on fabricating bone grafts that could enhance ostegenesis and vascularization in-vitro. Developing biomimetic materials such as...

Chapter 10

Recent Advances in Synthesis and Biomedical Applications of Magnetic Nanoparticles: Magnetic Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications (pages 219-249)

Irshad Ahmad Wani

Magnetic nanoparticles due to their unique magnetic phenomenon, are gaining immense interest due to the utilization of these properties for a wide variety of applications in various arena especially in biomedical field. This book...

Chapter 11

Stratagems of Nanotechnology Augmenting the Bioavailability and Therapeutic Efficacy of Traditional Medicine to Formulate Smart Herbal Drugs Combating (pages 250-282)

Anita Margret
