Woodhead Publishing Immunomodulatory Effects of Nanomaterials: Assessment and Analysis (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials)

Immunomodulatory Effects of Nanomaterials: Assessment and Analysis provides a detailed overview of the modulatory impact of nanomaterials on the immune system, as well as evaluative and analytical methods for assessment of these effects. This book begins with an introduction to a range of common nanomaterials for biomedical use, and how their different properties can elicit varied responses from the immune system. Immunomodulatory effects of these materials are then discussed, with thorough coverage on the adverse and/or toxic effects on the immune system, as well as desired modulatory effects to improve efficacy of applied therapeutics. This book also enables the reader learn about the best evaluation methods for immunomodulatory effects of nanomaterials, and the associated risks with interpretation and analysis of resultant data - ensuring an accurate and informed decision is made when selecting nanomaterials for use in the human body. Immunomodulatory Effects of Nanomaterials: Assessment and Analysis is a useful reference for academics and researchers with an interest in immunology, working in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical science, as well as immunologists and toxicologists with an interest in nanomaterials and their applications.
