Methods in Bioengineering: Nanoscale Bioengineering and Nanomedicine (Artech House Methods in Bioengineering Series)

This practical book is part of the new Artech House Methods in Bioengineering series volumes designed to offer detailed guidance on authoritative methods for addressing specific bioengineering challenges. Filling a critical gap in the current literature, this new resource presents practical, step-by-step methods to help you synthesize, characterize, biofunctionalize and apply the nanomaterial that is most suitable for handling a given nanoscale bioengineering problem. Written and presented by the best scientists and engineers in their respective fields, the authors offer a clear and detailed understanding of how to carry out:

Nanoparticle functionalization with biomolecules, including enzymes;

Nanoparticle analysis and characterization;

In vitro evaluation of nanoparticles using different cell lines;

In vitro evaluation of nanoparticles as therapeutics and imaging agents.
