Nanotechnology in Human Health: Current Research and Future Trends details the various challenges faced in human healthcare settings and how nanotechnology can be used to target and improve outcomes. The book describes the application of nanoparticles in the diagnosis of human diseases, including metabolic diseases, cancer, bacterial infection, organ degeneration and the various targeted, nano-based treatments available. Several chapters look at how microbial biofilms - a key clinical concern - can be mitigated using nanomaterials and nanotechnology. In addition, the book covers how different nanoparticle types can be utilized as therapeutic agents.

This book combines materials science concepts and techniques with clinical insights and understanding to provide an interdisciplinary reference for materials scientists, microbiologists, biomedical engineers and clinicians with an interest in nanotechnology.

• Reviews the potential applications of nanotechnology in healthcare, with a focus on combating antibiotic-resistant microbial infections and biofilms
• Explores the legal, social and ethical challenges of utilizing nanotechnology in clinical settings
• Combines materials science concepts and techniques with clinical insights and understanding to provide an interdisciplinary approach
