Nanoscience is a multidisciplinary area of science which enables researchers to create tools that help in understanding the mechanisms related to the interactions between nanomaterials and biomolecules (nanotechnology). Nanomaterials represent nanotechnology products. These products have an enormous impact on technical industries and the quality of human life. Nanomaterials directly or indirectly have to interact with biosystems. It is therefore essential to understand the beneficial and harmful interactions of nanomaterials with and within a biosystem especially with reference to humans.

This book provides primary and advanced information concerning the interactions between nanomaterials and the components of a typical biosystem to readers. Chapters in the book cover in a topic-based approach the many facets of nanomolecular interactions with biological molecules and systems that influence their behavior bioavailability and biocompatibility (including nucleic acids cell membranes tissues enzymes and antibodies). A note on the applications of nanomaterials is also presented in the conclusion of the book to illustrate the usefulness of this class of materials.

The contents of the book will benefit students researchers and technicians involved in the fields of biological sciences such as cell biology medicine molecular biology food technology cosmetology pharmacology biotechnology and environmental sciences. The book also provides information for the material science personnel enabling them to understand the basics of target-oriented nanomaterials design for specific objectives.

Burns can cause life-threatening injury and the lengthy hospitalization and rehabilitations required in burn therapy lead to higher healthcare costs. The risk of infection has also been one of the important concerns of burn wound management. The purpose of the burn wound care management is speedy wound healing and epithelization to limit the infection. The topical application of therapeutic agents is quintessential for the longevity of patients having significant burns.

In recent times research on herbal medicine for burn wound management has been vastly increased because of their safer toxicological profiles in contrast to synthetic medicines. Despite the promising therapeutic potential of herbal medicines in this area herbal medications have some limitations which include low pharmacological activity solubility and stability. Nanotechnology-based smart drug delivery approaches which involve the use of small molecules as nanocarriers however can help to overcome these biopharmaceutical challenges.

This book provides an overview of plant-mediated metallic nanoparticulate systems and nanophytomedicine based therapeutic treatment modalities for burn wound lesions. Nine chapters deliver updated information about nanomedicines for burn wound therapy. Contributions are written by experts in nanomedicine and phytomedicine and collectively cover the pathophysiology of wound lesions current and future outlook of nanomedicine based treatments for burn wound lesions the role of biocompatible nanomaterials in burn wound management plant-mediated synthesis of metal nanoparticles for treating burn wound sepsis phytomedicine based nanoformulations and the phyto-informatics models involved in the wound healing process which are used to select appropriate nanotherapeutic agents.

This reference serves as an accessible source of information on the topic of nanomedicine for burn treatments for all healthcare professionals (medical doctors nurses students trainees) and researchers in allied fields (pharmacology phytomedicine) who are interested in this area of medicine.

Advances in technology have enabled medicinal chemists to discover and formulate several highly specific biocompatible and non-toxic therapeutic agents for clinical applications. Nanotechnology has achieved significant progress in the last few decades and is crucial in every field of science and technology. Nanotechnology-based pharmaceuticals offer multifaceted and alternative methodologies in comparison to the limitations of many conventional clinical therapies. Expertise in designing and developing nanoformulations has helped in targeted drug delivery. Recently the use of innovative therapeutic agents particularly in nanomedicine has accounted for a significant portion of the global pharmaceutical market and is predicted to continue to grow rapidly in the near future.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of death globally. Conventional chemotherapeutic agents are unable to penetrate cancerous hepatocytes completely and are toxic to non cancerous cells and tissues. This toxicity significantly compromises the therapeutic outcome of conventional chemotherapeutic agents which is also reflected in the high mortality of the disease. Nanotherapeutics have shed new light onto HCC treatment by enabling site-specific in vivo delivery of chemotherapeutics specifically to neoplastic hepatocytes without affecting normal hepatocytes. Thus nanotherapeutics have shown considerable potential and there is tremendous impetus for rapid translation from the pre-clinical to the clinical domain to significantly prolong the survival in HCC.
