Summary:	The present book discusses topics related to research and development of materials and devices at nanoscale size and their respective application in medicine and biomedicine. The individual chapters give a detailed state of the art overview to the distinct topic. Apparently disconnected fields -- life sciences, biomedicine, chemistry, physics, medicine and engineering -- are bridged with a highly interdisciplinary view onto each subject.
