Nanobiotechnology: How Nanomaterials Can Solve Biological and Medical Problems
Sharjah, UAE | Posted April 14, 2023
Nanobiotechnology is a multidisciplinary field currently involving researchers in both conventional and advanced engineering and natural sciences. Recent developments in nanobiotechnology have impacted various socioeconomic sectors, including medical, agricultural, food, textile and other industries. Although the integration of nanomaterials with biology has led to the development of diagnostic devices, contrast agents, analytical tools, therapeutics, and drug delivery vehicles, bionanotechnology research is still in its infancy. The full potential of development in this area has not yet been realized. This book discusses various nano-engineered materials or nanocarriers that are used in various situations. It presents 8 chapters covering the application of nanomaterials in environmental remediation, nanofertilizers, nanobiotics against antimicrobial resistance, nanobiosensors in pathogen detection, and nontoxicity assessment. Each chapter is organized into easy-to-read sections that explain the basic and applied concepts of nanomaterials.
For example,
Drug delivery: Nanoparticles can be used as carriers to deliver drugs to specific cells or tissues in the body. For example, liposomes, which are nanoscale vesicles composed of lipids, can be filled with drugs and targeted to cancer cells, enabling more efficient and targeted delivery of chemotherapy.
Biosensors: Nanoparticles can be used to create highly sensitive biosensors for detecting biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids and pathogens. For example, gold nanoparticles can be functionalized with specific antibodies to detect the presence of disease markers in the blood.
Imaging: The nanoparticles can be used as a contrast agent for medical imaging, enabling the visualization of specific tissues or cells. For example, iron oxide nanoparticles can be used as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Readers will get current views on the biotechnology applications of modern nanomaterials and nanoparticles. This book is intended to be the go-to book for students and researchers in agriculture, biotechnology, and biomedical engineering courses.
