Quantum Dot Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery compiles the latest advances in the development and application of QD nanocarriers for delivery of a range of therapeutic agents. QDs are widely accepted because of their dominant striking characteristics including biocompatibility, photoluminescence, morphology, size, and stability. This book systematically reviews the benefits and challenges of using QDs in drug delivery applications, evaluating their toxicity, safety, preclinical and clinical aspects.Quantum Dot Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery is of interest to a broad audience, including researchers and academics working in the fields of biomaterials, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical science and biomedical engineering. - Covers a range of therapeutic targets, including neurodegenerative disorders, wound healing, photodynamic therapy, and more - Reviews a core selection of QD types, from carbon and hybrid QDs, to functionalized and bioinspired QDs - Explores the safety, preclinical, and clinical aspects of using QDs in drug delivery
