Book Description
This book discusses the unique interactions of nanoparticles with various biomolecules under different environmental conditions. It describes the consequences of these interactions on other biological aspects like flora and fauna of the niche, cell proliferation, etc. The book provides information about the novel and eco-friendly nanoparticle synthesis methods, such as continuous synthesis of nanoparticles using microbial cells. Additionally, the book discusses nanoparticles' potential impact in different areas of biological sciences like food, medicine, agriculture, and the environment. Due to their advanced physicochemical properties, nanoparticles have revolutionized biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Inside the biological milieu, nanoparticles interact with different moieties to adopt stable shape, size, and surface functionalities and form nano-biomolecular complexes. The interaction pattern at the interface form complexes determines the fate of interacting biomolecules and nanoparticles inside the biological system. Understanding the interaction pattern at the nano-bio interface is crucial for the safe use of nanoparticles in natural sciences. This book rightly addresses all questions about the interaction and the ensuing structure and function of these nano-biomolecular complexes. This book caters to students and researchers in the area of biotechnology, microbiology, and pharmaceutical sciences.

Bio-Nano Interfaces
Author: Wolfgang Parak
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000618900
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1480
Book Description
In recent decades, bio-nano interfaces have become a popular topic of research. The interface between biology (e.g., cells, proteins) and man-made materials (e.g., surfaces of labware, medical devices/implants, etc., that are exposed to the biological matter) has always been important, way before the terms of nanotechnology and nanoscience were coined. Nanotechnology brought new techniques into play, with which such interfaces can be investigated with an additional viewpoint. This book is a collection of articles spanning two decades that shows how the newer publications have evolved from the older ones. This allows the reader to see the development in the field not only technically but also conceptually. The book is, in particular, suitable for the researchers and general readers who are looking for inspiration on how ideas develop over decades.

Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9814241652
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Biophysics is a new way of looking at living matter. It uses quantitative experimental and theoretical methods to open a new window for studying and understanding life processes. This textbook gives compact introductions to the basics of the field, including molecular cell biology and statistical physics. It then presents in-depth discussions of more advanced biophysics subjects, progressing to state-of-the-art experiments and their theoretical interpretations.

Biological Responses to Nanoscale Particles
Author: Peter Gehr
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030124614
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
In this book the recent progress accumulated in studies of the interaction of engineered nanoparticles with cells and cellular constituents is presented. The focus is on manufacturing and characterization of nanosized materials, their interactions with biological molecules such as proteins, the mechanisms of transport across biological membranes as well as their effects on biological functions. Fundamental molecular and cellular aspects are in the foreground of the book. A further particularity is the interdisciplinary approach, including fields such as preparatory and analytical chemistry, biophysics and the physics of colloids, advanced microscopy and spectroscopy for in-situ detection of nanoparticles, cellular toxicology and nanomedicine. Nanoscale particles are known to exhibit novel and unprecedented properties that make them different from their corresponding bulk materials. As our ability to control these properties is further advanced, a huge potential to create materials with novel properties and applications emerges. Although the technological and economic benefits of nanomaterials are indisputable, concerns have also been raised that nanoscale structuring of materials might also induce negative health effects. Unfortunately, such negative health effects cannot be deduced from the known toxicity of the corresponding macroscopic material. As a result, there is a major gap in the knowledge necessary for assessing their risk to human health.

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology for Smart Prevention, Diagnostics and Therapeutics
Author: Sathish-Kumar Kamaraj
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1394174578
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
The book presents the fundamentals of nanomaterials, discusses the direct applications of nanomaterials to the biomedical sector, and explores the potential therapeutic applications of nanotheranostics. This book focuses on the fundamental features of various nanomaterials that are related to the development of biomedical technologies. These fundamental qualities are broken up into three parts: prevention, diagnostics, and therapeutics. When it comes to infectious diseases, prevention is of the utmost importance. Highly advanced nanomaterials including silver, titanium, graphene-based filters, and copper nanoparticles are used to fight infectious illnesses. Once the symptoms have been recognized in the patients, through the use of effective and straightforward nanodiagnostic techniques, the diseases can be accurately localized in either a qualitative or quantitative manner. Nanodiagnostics tools currently dominate the field of biomedical diagnostics because of their high degree of accuracy, low requirement for samples and reagents, user-friendliness, portability, and capacity to perform point-of-care (POC) applications. Nanomaterials are widely used in imaging due to many factors, including: their signal generation and amplification abilities; the ongoing development of reliant new imaging techniques, such as photoacoustic imaging and Raman imaging; their targeting potential, due to the possibility of functionalizing their surface with cancer-targeting moieties; their multimodality, since some nanomaterials can generate signals for more than one imaging technique; and their affordability. Modern therapeutics explores the various nanotechnological advances to cure the site-specific cancer treatment most prominently. The book explores the fundamentals of nanomaterials and discloses their direct application to the biomedical field. Finally, the book discusses future therapeutic applications of nanotheranostics. Audience The book will be read by scientists, researchers, and post-graduate students in the biomedical-related engineering field, nanoscience and nanotechnology, materials science, and bionanotechnology.
