    About this ebook

    Handbook of Nanomaterials for Cancer Theranostics focuses on recent developments in advanced theranostic nanomedicines from a chemical and biological perspective where the advantages of theranostics are achieved by combining multiple components. The authors explore the pros and cons of theranostic nanomaterials developed in cancer research in the last 15 years, with the different strategies compared and scrutinized. In addition, the book explores how nanomaterials may overcome the regulatory hurdles facing theranostic nanomedicines.

    This is an important research reference for postgraduates and researchers in nanomedicine and cancer research who want to learn more on how nanomaterials can help create more effective cancer treatments.

    • Highlights the development of smart theranostic nanomaterials to tackle biomedical problems in cancer therapy and diagnostics
    • Explores the regulatory hurdles facing theranostic nanomedicine
    • Discusses how the use of nanomaterials can help create more effective cancer treatments

      Nanomaterial Found To Reduce Cancer Stem Cells In Rats, Chinese Study Finds

      Sep 28, 2022

      Chinese scientists say they have developed a smart nanomaterial that significantly reduced the number of cancer stem cells in rats in a recent study. Therapies that can selectively eliminate cancer cells mean less damage to a patient's healthy cells.

      Light-activated Drugs Could Kill Cancer With Fewer Side Effects

      Feb 15, 2018

      Light-activated cancer drugs that don’t cause the toxic side effects of current chemotherapy treatments are closer to becoming a reality, a new study suggests. Researchers say they now know more about how a pioneering platinum-based chemotherapy drug

      Nano ‘Sushi’ Catch Toxic Amyloids in Action

      Dec 6, 2017

      When proteins misfold, accumulate, and clump around insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, they kill cells. New research captures a structural snapshot of these proteins when they are most toxic, detailing them down to the atomic level. The researc
