About this title

Synopsis

Nanotechnology-Based Innovations in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Treatment and Management explores innovative drug delivery systems utilizing nanotechnology to revolutionize the treatment and management of COPD. By presenting the latest advancements in nanotechnologies―including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, and theranostic nanoparticles―this volume aims to enhance patient outcomes, alleviate symptoms, and improve lung function, thereby addressing the urgent need for more effective therapies. Structured to cater to a diverse audience, from beginners to advanced researchers, this comprehensive text begins with an overview of COPD, its epidemiology, and current limitations in treatment. The core chapters explore a wide range of nanotechnological applications for diagnosis and disease management, including cutting-edge topics such as nano-immunotherapy and green nanotechnology. Each chapter was developed by a multidisciplinary team of experts from academia and industry, ensuring a comprehensive approach that integrates insights from pharmaceutical sciences, respiratory health, and bioinformatics. Nanotechnology-based Innovations in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Treatment and Management not only fills a critical gap in COPD literature but also serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, and students alike. It promises to be a definitive guide on how innovative drug delivery systems can transform COPD care, paving the way for future advancements in respiratory health management.
