Description

Nanotechnology for Diabetes Management

According to the World Health Organization, diabetes will rank as the seventh most common cause of premature death globally by 2030. There are numerous potential benefits to using nanotechnology in medicine, and its use has advanced significantly over the last few decades. Although nanotechnology is commonly used to treat cancer and other illnesses, its use to the treatment of diabetes is just now beginning to gain traction. The most recent advancements in nanomedicine for the management of many aspects of diabetes and associated conditions are presented in this book. Chapters include previously unconsidered subjects in glucose sensing, insulin secretion and delivery, bioimaging, and islet transplantation using an interdisciplinary approach. Researchers studying diabetes, nanomedicine, and nanotechnology who are interested in developing novel treatments for this deadly condition will find this book useful.
