      abstract = {This book introduces the reader to drug delivery with  specific emphasis on the use of nanoparticles. It covers  properties, characterization, and preparation of different  types of nanoparticles and discusses recent advances in  their structural design and biomedical application, as well  as the issues and challenges associated with their design  and use. Some of the topics covered include the potential  application of nanoparticles in biomedical fields, hazards  associated with use of nanoparticles for drug delivery,  size-dependent factors in drug delivery applications,  different organic, inorganic and their hybrid systems used  in drug delivery, etc. It also highlights use of  nanoparticles in controlled and targeted drug delivery, and  their application in stimuli-responsive, especially  pH-responsive, drug release. Additionally, it also focuses  on biomimetic nanoparticles, challenges faced in the  designing of nanoparticles for drug delivery in cancer,  viral and bacterial diseases. The contents of this volume  will be useful to researchers and professionals working on  advances in targeted drug delivery systems.},
