Nanomaterials for Medical Applications, Second Edition is a comprehensive presentation of the various aspects of nanomaterials for medical applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, disease prevention and regenerative medicine. Relevant types of nanoparticles such as the metals/non-metals and their oxides (if any), biodegradable biocompatible nanoparticles, hydrogel nanoparticles, dendrimers, etc. in the form of nanospheres, nanostars, nanoshells and nanotubes are featured. The book includes applications in cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, diseases of the central nervous system, orthopedics and more. Therefore, it is useful for undergraduates, graduate students, postgraduate, professors, and professionals (such as oncologists, radiologists, lawyers, businessmen, technicians, etc.).

An additional new section of this book focuses on the application of nanotechnology for medical use of cannabidiols (CBDs) which has been approved for medical use in the 50 states.
