Targeting Intercellular Communication with Nanomedicine and Advanced Therapeutics provides a thorough exploration of intercellular communication and its impact on modern therapeutic approaches. The book addresses the complex interactions between cells, which play a critical role in the development and progression of diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, and inflammatory or immune conditions. By offering a well-rounded perspective, it fills a crucial gap in our understanding of how various communication mechanisms intersect and influence both disease pathology and treatment strategies, making it a valuable reference for researchers and professionals in drug development and delivery.

In addition to its comprehensive overview, the book is systematically organized into fourteen chapters covering key topics such as biological targets, overcoming biological barriers, and mechanisms of internalization. It offers detailed discussions on tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, and the interface between immune and non-immune systems across different diseases. The text also examines the significance of mitochondrial exchange and the crosstalk among different forms of intercellular communication.

Dr. Lara Milane is Assistant Teaching Professor in Biotechnology at the Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University. She is interested in Mitochondrial Medicine. She is working on developing nanomedicines for a range of diseases (cancer, neurodegenerative disease, aging) that manipulate mitochondria for therapeutic outcomes. Dr. Milane was trained as a National Cancer Institute/ National Science Foundation Nanomedicine Fellow at Northeastern University, Boston, MA. Dr. Milane is an intuitive cancer biologist with research interests in developing translational nanomedicines that exploit the hallmarks of cancer. Mansoor M. Amiji is the Distinguished Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University. Dr. Amiji has edited a number of books and is a frequently published author. His research focuses on the synthesis of novel polymeric materials for medical and pharmaceutical applications, drug delivery systems and nanomedical technologies, and his contributions in research advising, grant reviews for various organizations and editorial work for journals are invaluable.
