Nanomaterials and Their Use in Biomedicine
Nanomaterials have potential biomedical application such as imaging, targeted drug delivery, disease diagnosis, disease prevention, and controlled dug release. Some nanoparticles such as guar gum nanoparticles (GN) itself show anti-inflammatory and proreg

Foreword
‘Small is beautiful’. This oft-repeated catch phrase may well define the overarching reach of smallness, in other words nanosized particles and their infinite potential for interpolation and extrapolation. This book Nanomaterials and Biomedicine: A Therapeutic and Diagnostic Approach, edited by Professor Ena Ray Banerjee and her team, outlines the enormous advantage and the infinite possibilities of using nanosized materials in pure and composite forms that make effective communication a cakewalk for the innumerable biological entities that malfunction only because communication between them are interrupted or get lost in translation. This is at the heart of biologists and medical profession’s combined efforts towards ensuring optimal flow of information amongst stakeholder factors within organisms, their systems and the environmental network. Interdisciplinarity is key in solving such problems as – how nanoparticles first caught the attention of mankind’s practice of science and technology and held it? How possibilities revealed themselves as new information
