In this book, newly developed silicon nano-biotechnology and its biomedical applications are systematically introduced. For instance, fluorescent silicon nanoparticles, serving as novel high-performance biological nanoprobes, are superbly suited to real-time and long-term bioimaging. Silicon nanowire-based sensing platform is especially capable of sensitive, specific, and multiplexed detection of various biological species. Silicon-based nanocarriers with ultra-high drug-loading capacity are highly efficacious for \u003ci\u003ein vitro\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ein vivo\u003c\/i\u003e cancer therapies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for readers who are interested in the design of functional silicon nanostructures and their biological and biomedical applications. It uses silicon nanoparticles and silicon nanowires as models and discusses topics ranging from their synthesis to their biological applications, the goal being to highlight these exciting achievements as starting points in the field of silicon nano-biotechnology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYao He\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor at Institute of Functional Nano\u0026amp;Soft Materials (FUNSOM), Soochow University, China. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYuanyuan Su\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor at Institute of Functional Nano\u0026amp;Soft Materials (FUNSOM), Soochow University, China.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-04-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642546679\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-54668-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 109\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47672143577228,"sku":"9783642546679","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642546679.jpg?v=1776520084","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783642546679","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
