Abstract

This chapter covers the wide knowledge about polymer composite strategies in cancer therapy, augment stem cell osteogenesis, diagnostics in the central nervous system, and drug delivery. Many polymer composites were applied for the diagnosis and curing of cancer diseases. These areas include different types of polymer composites, their degradation, drug release mechanism from the polymer composites, and their needfulness for cancer therapy. In addition, this chapter explores the augmentation stem cell osteogenesis including morphology, environment, and polymer nanocomposites for osteogenesis. In the end, we focus on the drug delivery system for central nervous system.
