Review: In the next ten years nanotechnology is expected to make a real impact on diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration and diabetics as well as those of the blood, lungs, cardiovascular system and skeleton. New nanoparticles, capable of sensing and drug delivery will be designed. This book begins with an overview of the technologies for cancer diagnosis and therapy and a discussion on metallic nanoparticles. There are also chapters on: Nanoparticles for biomedical applications; Microactuators; Optical nanomanipulation in a living cell; Dielectric methods for biomedical applications; Control of microscale and nanoscale cell manipulators; and Dynamic modelling and analysis for gene manipulations.
