Gold Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery (Paperback)

Gold Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery discusses the synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), presenting an historical introduction to the developments in the area, discussing methods and characterization parameters, covering targeted delivery strategies, treatment of cancer, CNS conditions, infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS infection, wound healing and tissue regeneration, dentistry, gene delivery, and its photo properties used in diagnostic and therapies, and finally presenting regulatory aspects such as theranostic applications, vaccine development, toxicity, and the translation of research to marketable products.

This book is a complete reference for researchers in nanotechnology drug delivery and pharmaceutical disciplines. Researchers in pharmaceutical industries, especially those involved in the use of gold nanoparticles in the field of drug delivery, diagnosis, targeted and early therapies will also benefit from this book.

• Covers gold nanoparticles' characterization and synthesis techniques related to drug delivery
• Focuses on targeting strategies using gold nanoparticles for efficient drug delivery
• Provides a consolidated overview of applications of gold nanoparticles for drug delivery to several systems and conditions
