Many varieties of new, complex diseases are constantly being discovered, which leaves
scientists with little choice but to embrace innovative methods for controlling the invasion
of life-threatening problems. The use of nanotechnology has given scientists an opportu-
nity to create nanomaterials that could help medical professionals in diagnosing and treat-
ing problems quickly and effectively. This book focuses on the novel methodologies and
strategies adopted in the research and development of bioengineered nanomaterials and
technology. It has been written to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information on
cutting-edge research in the area of nanomaterials of biotechnological importance.
Chapter 1 introduces the applications of nanoparticles that have clinical utility in can-
cer treatment. Chapter 2 provides a brief overview of research related to aptamers. The
development of aptamer-modified nanoparticles and their use in medical applications are
discussed. Chapter 3 describes five immobilization techniques, that is, adsorption, entrap-
ment, encapsulation, covalent coupling, and cross-linking, that are used in the develop-
ment of biomaterial-based electrodes. Likewise, Chapter 4 reviews research related to the
processing of functional nanostructures with a focus on the crucial role of nanofibers and
nanoparticle systems. Chapter 5 examines the historical perspective of nanoemulsion vac-
cine adjuvants, the latest advancements in nanoemulsion adjuvant research, and the direc-
tion of future development. Chapter 6 describes the fascinating properties of biocompatible,
inorganic nanoparticles of carbonate apatite, including electrostatic interactions with a
variety of charged molecules for capturing and subsequent cellular delivery of potential
therapeutics. Chapter 7 reviews the synthesis, applications, and biological properties of
various ceramic platforms used in medical applications and their potential application as
therapeutic nanoparticles in anticancer protein delivery. Chapter 8 discusses the essential
aspects in designing the colloidally stable iron oxide nanoparticles. The encapsulation of
transplanted cells in nanoporous semipermeable membranes to facilitate adequate dif-
fusion while minimizing immune and foreign cell responses is described in Chapter 9.
This chapter also outlines the structural and chemical attributes of various encapsulants.
Chapter 10 describes the release of actives from nanoparticles for the application related
to topical drug delivery as transdermal patches. A detailed description of toxicity mecha-
nisms, as well as limitations and future prospects of nanotoxicity testing with potential
new applications of silver nanocomposites as antibacterial support systems, is provided in
Chapter 11. Chapter 12 is devoted to the laser ablation of solid targets to produce a myriad
of morphologically distinct nanostructures. This will help readers in understanding the
unique one-pot green synthesis method, which gives a precise control over the size, com-
position, and biofunctionalization, and their results into multifunctional nanoparticles for
use in theranostics. The principal applications of nanomedicine in brain tumor treatment,
followed by a report on various preclinical and/or clinical studies conducted in brain
tumor treatment, are covered in Chapter 13. Chapter 14 provides detailed information on
the development of nanomaterials, especially mesoporous silica nanoparticles, that can
incorporate high volumes of therapeutic drugs. Such mesoporous nanoparticles can be
promising in a wide range of applications, such as information storage systems, magnetic
nanodevices, drug delivery, magnetic hyperthermia, medical diagnostics, and ferrofluids.
Chapter 15 demonstrates the use of near-infrared-resonant gold nanoshells and carbon
nanotubes in tumor imaging and nanodelivery systems for theranostics of carcinomas.
Finally, Chapter 16 has critically upended the requirements for bone regeneration and how
biological inspiration is being coupled with the nanoscale engineering of biomaterials in
order to create innovative biomimetic scaffolds. The chapter also describes innovative
approaches to improve bioactive properties and molecular signaling in cells to stimulate
bone repair.
This book contains in-depth information on bioengineered nanomaterials being devel-
oped in leading research laboratories around the world. Although the primary focus of
attended nanomaterials is on biomedical applications, these technologies would be inter-
esting if explored in multidisciplinary passage. The comprehensively written chapters
are targeted to a broad readership, including students and researchers from diverse back-
grounds such as chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, medical science,
pharmacy, biotechnology, and biomedical engineering. This book can be used as a text-
book by students of bioengineering courses as well as a reference book for researchers.
We are confident that the most recent and detailed information in this book will be use-
ful for students, researchers, scientists, engineers, and professors.
