Preface
Nanomaterials and nanotechnology have helped to shape what we know as modern medicine. Unrebuttably, we are living in an era of brilliant medicine with advances in pretty much every field of medicine ranging from prevention all the way to artificial organs. However, as our population lives longer, the spectra and abilities of the therapeutics and diagnoses must be accordingly updated. Nanomaterials have opened a whole new world of possibilities for developing more advanced and precise diagnostic tools, drug delivery nanocarriers, and imaging and sensor elements for diagnostics. The superior physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials when compared to their bulk counterpart make the fiel
