Understand a vital new bioanalytical technique with this comprehensive introduction to measuring temperature on the cellular scale Most organisms have highly controlled body temperatures, fluctuations in which are therefore sensitive indicators of changes in body function. In recent years, the development of fluorescent molecular thermometers and related intracellular temperature probes has enabled researchers to track these fluctuations at the cellular rather than the organismic level, opening up a whole new field of study in cell and molecular biology. Intracellular Thermometry with Fluorescent Molecular Thermometers provides bioanalytical researchers with an introduction to these technologies and their current and future applications. Starting off with a discussion of temperature as a key factor in biological regulation, it provides an authoritative overview of available fluorescent temperature probes, their characteristics and potential applications. Intracellular Thermometry with Fluorescent Molecular Thermometers readers will also find: Step by step instructions for constructing an intracellular thermometry experiment and validating results Comprehensive discussion of existing applications A vision for the future development of thermal biology as an independent discipline Authored by a pioneer in the field of intracellular thermometry, Intracellular Thermometry with Fluorescent Molecular Thermometers is ideal for researchers in analytical chemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, biophysics, or any related subjects.

Smart Nanoparticles for Biomedicine explores smart nanoparticles that change their structural or functional properties in response to specific external stimuli (electric or magnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, ultrasound, etc.). Particular attention is given to multifunctional nanostructured materials that are pharmacologically active and that can be actuated by virtue of their magnetic, dielectric, optically-active, redox-active, or piezoelectric properties. This important reference resource will be of great value to readers who want to learn more on how smart nanoparticles can be used to create more effective treatment solutions. Nanotechnology has enabled unprecedented control of the interactions between materials and biological entities, from the microscale, to the molecular level. Nanosurfaces and nanostructures have been used to mimic or interact with biological microenvironments, to support specific biological functions, such as cell adhesion, mobility and differentiation, and in tissue healing. Recently, a new paradigm has been proposed for nanomedicine to exploit the intrinsic properties of nanomaterials as active devices rather than as passive structural units or carriers for medications. - Discusses the synthesis, characterization and applications of a new generation of smart nanoparticles for nanomedicine applications - Explores the problems relating to the biocompatibility of a range of nanoparticles, outlining potential solutions - Describes techniques for manipulating specific classes of nanoparticles for a variety of treatment types
