Today we are living in a world of fast-changing behavior and lifestyles. Despite health and wellbeing are often pronounced and enforced, the diseases and illnesses are emerging in different forms, at an alarming rate. Protecting the mankind is becoming ever more challenging. In this backdrop, medicine needs new approaches and technologies to build the defenses. Nanotechnology is successfully confronting the situation. It does so in two avenues, namely, nanomaterials, and, nanodevices. Nanomaterials possess extraordinary properties that are utilized to confront bacteria and viruses, and for targeted drug delivery. Nanodevices can be maneuvered inside the human body to reach extreme locations. This book presents the latest developments in these areas. . 001453589 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 10, 2023). 001453589 650_0 $$aNanomedicine. 001453589 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001453589 7001_ $$aWitharana, Sanjeeva. 001453589 7001_ $$aNapagoda, M.
