Gold nanoparticles for biomedical imaging and their biological response

It is now well-understood that gold nanoparticles have promising applications in various aspect of biomedical engineering including hyperthermia, drug delivery, imaging, and targeting. A proper control of their physicochemical properties can enhance therapeutic effects of nanoparticles while diminishing adverse side effects. In this chapter, we will examine the various biomedical applications of gold nanoparticles, particularly in imaging and photothermal therapy. © 2016 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc

Bioinspired Nanotechnologies for Skin Regeneration

Regenerative medicine is classified among the fastest growing biomedical platforms because of its promising novel therapeutic effects using interdisciplinary biomimetic approaches. During recent decades, nanoscience has considerably enhanced the growth of regenerative medicine. Bioinspired materials have demonstrated great potential to revolutionize conventional tissue-engineering approaches. The bioinspired materials can mimic the stem cell environment, modulate their differentiation and proliferation, and enhance the cellular and tissue regenerative properties. In this chapter, we focus on the nanotechnology-based recent advances and trends for designing reliable and efficient platforms for skin regeneration. © 2016 Elsevier Inc
