Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods

Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods

Nanotechnology has the potential to change every part of our lives. Today nanotechnology-based products are used in many areas and one of the most important areas is drug delivery. Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems not only provide controlled delivery of drugs and improved drug solubility but also improve drug efficiency and reduce side effects via targeting mechanisms. However compared with conventional drug delivery systems few nanoparticle-based products are on the market and almost all are nontargeted or only passively targeted systems. In addition obtaining targeted nanoparticle systems is quite complex and requires several evaluation mechanisms. This book discusses the production characterization regulation and currently marketed targeted nanoparticle systems in a broad framework. It provides an overview of targeted nanoparticles’ (i) in vitro characterization such as particle size stability ligand density and type; (ii) in vivo behavior for different targeting areas such as tumor brain and vagina; and (iii) current advances in this field including clinical trials and regulation processes. | Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods

The properties of strongly correlated electrons confined in two dimensions are a forefront area of modern condensed matter physics. In the past two or three decades strongly correlated electron systems have garnered a great deal of scientific interest due to their unique and often unpredictable behavior. Two of many examples are the metallic state and the metal–insulator transition discovered in 2D semiconductors: phenomena that cannot occur in noninteracting systems. Tremendous efforts have been made in both theory and experiment to create an adequate understanding of the situation; however a consensus has still not been reached. Strongly Correlated Electrons in Two Dimensions compiles and details cutting-edge research in experimental and theoretical physics of strongly correlated electron systems by leading scientists in the field. The book covers recent theoretical work exploring the quantum criticality of Mott and Wigner–Mott transitions experiments on the metal–insulator transition and related phenomena in clean and dilute systems the effect of spin and isospin degrees of freedom on low-temperature transport in two dimensions electron transport near the 2D Mott transition experimentally observed temperature and magnetic field dependencies of resistivity in silicon-based systems with different levels of disorder and microscopic theory of the interacting electrons in two dimensions.

Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology

Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology

Over the past decade plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of extensive research owing to their remarkable optical properties. These properties arise from a collective oscillation of the conductive electrons at the nanoparticle surface under light irradiation known as localized surface plasmon (LSP). LSP is characterized by (i) a strong absorption and scattering of the light depending on the geometrical parameters of the nanoparticles and (ii) a strong amplification of the local field in the vicinity of the nanoparticles. Quite recently it was shown that the activation and the initiation of chemical reactions or physical processes can be facilitated using LSP excitation. Such exploitation presents two main advantages: an enhanced yield and a fine control of chemical reactions at the nanoscale. These topics have become very active and are in line with molecular plasmonics. This book explores this new field and provides a broad view on the exploitation of plasmonics in chemical and biological fields. | Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology

Companion Diagnostics (CDx) in Precision Medicine

Companion Diagnostics (CDx) in Precision Medicine

There is a new trend in anti-cancer therapeutics development: a targeted therapy and precision medicine that targets a subgroup of patients with specific biomarkers. An in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay is required to identify a subgroup of cancer patients who would benefit from the targeted therapy or not likely benefit or have a high risk of side effects from the specific drug treatment. This IVD or medical device is called a companion diagnostic (CDx) assay. It is key to have a robust CDx assay or device for the success of targeted therapy and precision medicine. This book covers the technical historical clinical and regulatory aspects of CDx in precision medicine. Clearly more and more newly developed oncology drugs will require accompanying CDx assays and this book with chapters contributed by renowned oncologists provides a comprehensive foundation for the knowledge and application of CDx for precision medicine. | Companion Diagnostics (CDx) in Precision Medicine

From Atoms to Higgs Bosons Voyages in Quasi-Spacetime

From Atoms to Higgs Bosons Voyages in Quasi-Spacetime

The announcement in 2012 that the Higgs boson had been discovered was understood as a watershed moment for the Standard Model of particle physics. It was deemed a triumphant event in the reductionist quest that had begun centuries ago with the ancient Greek natural philosophers. Physicists basked in the satisfaction of explaining to the world that the ultimate cause of mass in our universe had been unveiled at CERN Switzerland. The Standard Model of particle physics is now understood by many to have arrived at a satisfactory description of entities and interactions on the smallest physical scales: elementary quarks leptons and intermediary gauge bosons residing within a four-dimensional spacetime continuum. Throughout the historical journey of reductionist physics mathematics has played an increasingly dominant role. Indeed abstract mathematics has now become indispensable in guiding our discovery of the physical world. Elementary particles are endowed with abstract existence in accordance with their appearance in complicated equations. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle originally intended to estimate practical measurement uncertainties now bequeaths a numerical fuzziness to the structure of reality. Particle physicists have borrowed effective mathematical tools originally invented and employed by condensed matter physicists to approximate the complex structures and dynamics of solids and liquids and bestowed on them the authority to define basic physical reality. The discovery of the Higgs boson was a result of these kinds of strategies used by particle physicists to take the latest steps on the reductionist quest. This book offers a constructive critique of the modern orthodoxy into which all aspiring young physicists are now trained that the ever-evolving mathematical models of modern physics are leading us toward a truer understanding of the real physical world. The authors propose that among modern physicists physical realism has been largely replaced—in actual practice—by quasirealism a problematic philosophical approach that interprets the statements of abstract effective mathematical models as providing direct information about reality. History may judge that physics in the twentieth century despite its seeming successes involved a profound deviation from the historical reductionist voyage to fathom the mysteries of the physical universe. | From Atoms to Higgs Bosons Voyages in Quasi-Spacetime
