Therefore, nanoparticles, compared to larger (e.g., micrometer) particles, are considered to behave differently when they interact with cells. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNanoparticles in the Lung: Environmental Exposure and Drug Delivery provides a better understanding of how inhaled nanoparticles behave in the human lungs and body. Featuring contributions from renowned subject-matter experts, this authoritative text describes the sequence of events that nanoparticles encounter in the lungs when moving from the air into the bloodstream. This includes deposition, interactions with the alveolar surface and epithelium, translocation across the air-blood tissue barrier, and accumulation in the body. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the book addresses practical considerations for drug delivery to the respiratory tract, drug and gene delivery in the lungs, and bio-nanocapsules. It considers the physicochemical, colloidal, and transport properties of nanoparticles, and presents cutting-edge research on special issues such as dosimetry for \u003ci\u003ein vitro\u003c\/i\u003e nanotoxicology, nanoparticle deposition in the developing lungs, and the potential for nose-to-brain delivery of drugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNanoparticles in the Lung: Environmental Exposure and Drug Delivery offers\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ethe most updated and comprehensive knowledge of the risks and benefits associated with nanoparticle inhalation--to protect humans from any harmful effects and to explore the utility of nanoparticles as drug delivery carriers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Akira Tsuda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439892792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439892794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Akira Tsuda","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066175320319,"sku":"9781439892794","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d24a6582-157b-4120-acb0-e4a494a81213.jpg?v=1685405735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nanoparticles-in-the-lung-akira-tsuda-9781439892794","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
