Advances in Stimuli-Responsive Nanosystems for Cancer Therapy

Devarajan, Padma V.; Dyawanapelly, Sathish; Junnuthula, Vijayabhaskarreddy

The book is a compilation of the latest developments in the technology and applications of stimuli-responsive nanosystems for cancer therapy. The book begins with an overview of recent advances in various stimuli, including endogenous triggers related to tumor microenvironments such as pH, temperature, enzymes and exogenous stimuli such as light, temperature, ultrasound and magnetic field, which could significantly augment anticancer therapy. A gamut of nanosystems investigated for cancer therapy, some major systems being liposomes, polymer nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, hybrid nanoparticles and a range of other nanosystems which are stimuli responsive are covered in detail in the subsequent chapters. The chapters comprehensively cover the various nanosystems from development to evaluation to their application.  This book is a valuable resource for scientists, professors, researchers, as well as medical and industry professionals working in the area of cancer and targeted drug delivery.  It is also proposed as a textbook for master’s students opting for a course in targeted drug delivery
