Nanomaterials in Clinical Medicine: Case Studies in Nanomedicines focuses on the nanomaterials that can be formulated as drug delivery vehicles, such as liposomes, micelles, nanoemulsions and nanogels. Their physicochemical, morphological, thermo-dynamical and nanotoxicological properties are analyzed with respect to the design and development of drug delivery nanosystems for the encapsulation of an active pharmaceutical ingredient and its controlled release. Each chapter covers basic properties, the nanosystem (e.g., liposomes), the added value in drug delivery and targeting, and future perspectives. Case studies and examples of how nanomaterials are being used in clinical medicine, including marketed liposomal medicines and medical utility and regimens are also included.

Particular attention is given to new nanocarriers, such as elastic liposomes, lipid polymeric hybrid nanoparticles, organogel, nanofibers carbon nanomaterials, quantum dots and inorganic nanoparticles. This book is an important information source for those wanting to increase their understanding of what major nanomaterials are being used to create more effective drug delivery systems.

Costas Demetzos is Professor, Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology and Director in the Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Technology, Department of Pharmacy at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. His research focuses in the area of pharmaceutical nanotechnology. Dr. Natassa Pippa is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. Her research focuses on pharmaceutical technology, specifically the design and development of nanoparticles, such as liposomes, micelles, and hydrogels, for drug delivery and targeting. She completed her master's degree in "Industrial Pharmacy" in 2012 and her PhD thesis in 2015 at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Athens. Dr. Pippa has been awarded three scholarships for postdoctoral research in Greece and France. She has collaborated with the pharmaceutical industry in the development of drugs, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements.
