Nanomaterials for Medical Applications, Second Edition is a comprehensive presentation of the various aspects of nanomaterials for medical applications in the fields of diagnostics, therapeutics, disease prevention and regenerative medicine. Relevant types of nanoparticles such as the metals/non-metals and their oxides (if any), biodegradable biocompatible nanoparticles, hydrogel nanoparticles, dendrimers, etc that may be in the form of nanospheres, nanostars, nanoshells, or nanotubes will be featured. It includes applications in cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, diseases of the central nervous system, orthopaedics and more. Therefore, it is useful for undergraduates, graduate students, postgraduate, professors, and professionals (such as oncologists, radiologists, lawyers, businessmen, technicians, etc). An additional new section of this book focuses on the application of nanotechnology for medical use of cannabidiols (CBDs) which has been approved for medical use in the 50 states.
