Nanodynamic Therapies: Principles and Applications (Micro and Nano Technologies)

Nanodynamic Therapies: Principles and Applications explores the innovative use of nanosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species for the targeted treatment of cancer and bacterial infections. Covering a broad spectrum of ROS-based therapeutic strategies, including photodynamic, chemodynamic, sonodynamic, electrodynamic, radiodynamic, thermodynamic, piezoelectric dynamic, and pyroelectric dynamic therapies, this book provides comprehensive insights into their fundamental principles, biomedical applications, and emerging clinical perspectives. The book highlights the role of diverse nanomaterials, such as metal-based, polymer-based, carbon-based, lipid-based, and two-dimensional nanomaterials, in enhancing anticancer and antibacterial therapies. With a strong focus on translation research and therapeutic innovation, it presents the recent advances and future direction in nanodynamic approaches for combating cancer and microbial infections.

This volume serves as a valuable resource for researchers; postgraduate students in nanotechnology, materials science, biomaterials, and pharmaceutical sciences; and clinicians and cancer researchers seeking a comprehensive understanding of nanodynamic therapies and their impact on modern therapeutic strategies.
