RNA nanotechnology and therapeutics
Interest in RNA nanotechnology has increased in recent years as recognition of its potential for applications in nanomedicine has grown. Edited by the world's foremost experts in nanomedicine, this comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference details the latest research developments and challenges in the biophysical and single molecule approaches in RNA nanotechnology. In addition, the text also provides in-depth discussions of RNA structure for nanoparticle construction, RNA computation and modeling, single molecule imaging of RNA, RNA nanoparticle assembly, RNA nanoparticles in therapeutics, immunorecognition of RNA nanomaterials, RNA chemistry for nanoparticle synthesis, and conjugation and labeling.
Precursor Chemistry of Advanced Materials : CVD, ALD and Nanoparticles
Material synthesis by the transformation of organometallic compounds (precursors) by vapor deposition techniques such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been in the forefront of modern day research and development of new materials. There exists a need for new routes for designing and synthesizing new precursors as well as the application of established molecular precursors to derive tuneable materials for technological demands. With regard to the precursor chemistry, a most detailed understanding of the mechanistic complexity of materials formation from molecular precursors is very important for further development of new processes and advanced materials. To emphasize and stimulate research in these areas, this volume comprises a selection of case studies covering various key-aspects of the interplay of precursor chemistry with the process conditions of materials formation, particularly looking at the similarities and differences of CVD, ALD and nanoparticle synthesis, e.g. colloid chemistry, involving tailored molecular precursors.
Herbal pharmacopeia : Nanotechnology and advancing drug
Explores the intersection between traditional herbal medicine and cutting-edge nanotechnology. The chapters introduce modern techniques used in herbal extraction and analysis. The principles of drug discovery from plants are discussed, with a focus on the identification and development of bioactive compounds that have therapeutic potential. It discusses the pharmacological properties, biotechnological approaches in drug development, and challenges in the formulation and standardization of herbal medicines. Emerging trends and applications of nanotechnology in herbal pharmacotherapy, such as nanoparticle synthesis, enhanced bioavailability using nanocarriers, safety assessments, novel and targeted delivery systems, and regulatory considerations, are thoroughly discussed. Additionally, it includes a comparative analysis of traditional and nano-formulated approaches and their implementation in clinical settings. Towards the end, the book reviews the regulatory considerations for herbal products and future perspectives in herbal pharmacopeia. This book is intended for researchers, clinicians, and professionals in herbal medicine, pharmacology, and nanotechnology.
