Biopolymer-Based Nanotechnology for Cancer Treatment

Biopolymer-Based Nanotechnology for Cancer Treatment explores various current and promising applications of polymeric nanoparticles as a tool for cancer treatment. This book provides introductory information on cancer biology and how biopolymers interact with tumor cells, covering the engineering aspects of drug delivery systems, immunological responses, and clinical implications. Following this introduction, the book explores a wide range of polymeric nanoparticles, analyzing their properties, synthesis methods, mechanisms of cancer targeting, and potential applications. Each chapter includes illustrative examples that highlight core concepts and practical applications of the material discussed, and it also reviews current challenges and future research directions. This book is a valuable resource for academic and industrial researchers, nanotechnologists, and materials scientists interested in innovative materials for cancer treatment.
