Nanopharmacology and Nanotoxicology: Clinical Implications and Methods

Introduction

This book explains key concepts and applications of nanotechnology in clinical medicine and pharmacology. The chapters have been contributed by experts and provide a broad perspective about the current and future developments in pharmacology, toxicology, cell biology, and materials science.

The book is divided into 2 main sections. The first section concerns nanobiotechnology for human health including gastrointestinal disease, kidney diseases, pulmonary disorders, reproductive system, COVID-19, and cancer.

The second section is devoted to toxicological aspects of nanomaterials which involve toxicological assessments of nanotherapeutics and potential solutions for nanotoxicology.
