ABSTRACT

Medical nanotechnology has made broad incremental contributions

to improving the effectiveness of existing drugs, diagnostics, pros-

thetics, patient monitoring, and personal health care maintenance.

The evolutionary growth of nanomedicine arose from research

that progressed from the micro-to the nanoscale, and from the

molecular scale back up to the nanoscale. Now, nanoparticle-based

therapeutics is poised to have significant impact on the treatment

of neurodegenerative diseases. In this chapter, we aim to attract

interdisciplinary attention for future integration of the recent nano-

based biotechnological achievements with the clinical need of early

diagnosis and complete cure for neurodegenerative diseases.
