Book News, Inc.
Reports recent developments in preparing, modifying, and using magnetically responsive microspheres to carry therapeutic or diagnostic agents to specific locations in the body under the influence of external magnets. The 45 papers were invited and selected for inclusion with the intention of producing a comprehensive textbook on the subject as well as conference proceedings and so also review the basic concepts and procedures involved. They cover preparing and modifying biodegradable magnetic particles, characterization, applications in cell separation and analysis and in molecular biology, biomedical applications, drug delivery and radionuclide therapy, application as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging, and hyperthermia. -- Copyright © 1999 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved
