Wiley-VCH 2005 366 pages $190.00 Hardcover Nanotechnologies for the life sciences; 1 TA418 In the first volume of the publisher's new series "Nanotechnologies for the life sciences," Kumar (Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices, Louisiana State University Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, generally known as Louisiana State University or LSU, is a public, coeducational university located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and the main campus of the Louisiana State University System. ) et al. review the latest advances in efforts to create biocompatible biocompatible /bio·com·pat·i·ble/ (-kom-pat´i-b'l) being harmonious with life; not having toxic or injurious effects on biological function. nanomaterials. Recent research studies shed light on areas such as biofunctionalization of various types of materials, including fluorescent nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, magnetic nanoparticles, gelatin gelatin or animal jelly, foodstuff obtained from connective tissue (found in hoofs, bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage) of vertebrate animals by the action of boiling water or dilute acid. nanoparticles, and microarrays. Other topics include conjugation conjugation, in genetics conjugation, in genetics: see recombination. conjugation, in grammar conjugation: see inflection. of nanomaterials with proteins, and folate-linked limpid-based nanoparticles for tumor-targeted gene therapy. Readership for the book includes scientists working in medicine, biology, chemistry, materials science, physics, and engineering. The series is intended to provide the underlying science behind the design and implementation of medical, biological, and cybernetic cy·ber·net·ics n. (used with a sing. verb) The theoretical study of communication and control processes in biological, mechanical, and electronic systems, especially the comparison of these processes in biological and artificial systems. applications in nanotechnology.
