Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
People have been suffering from cancer and associated problems for many
years. A great amount of improvement has occurred in the field of medical science, and
it certainly has benefitted humankind to help live a happy and prosperous life. Despite
all these things, cancer treatment remains a provocative question as every year cases
are increasing; on the contrary, there are a lot of difficulties associated with cancer
treatment. To cope with these unique and mischievous problems, nanotechnology is
considered a boon. Various nanoparticle facilitates the required characteristics to
deliver a specific active therapeutic agent against the cancer cells. They can be targeted
and even modified to fulfill specific pharmacokinetic parameters vital for in vivo
delivery of drugs along with Nano-systems. This chapter here focuses on various types
of nanoparticles and nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery of certain therapeutic agents.
