Applications of Targeted Nanodrugs and Delivery Systems: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery

Applications of Targeted Nano-Drugs and Delivery Systems explores the applications of nano-drugs and their delivery systems, investigating the role they can play in key body systems and major disease types. The chapter authors explore the techniques of drug delivery to a targeted disease or tumour cells, and how damage to normal cells can be avoided - also focusing on the need to improve on targeted delivery system efficacy, and the reduction of side effects. Drug delivery systems have played an important role in various biomedical applications such as cancer, tumor therapy, tissue engineering etc. This book explores how nanotechnology can be deployed in developing new drug delivery systems. These new drug delivery methods are expected to enable pharmaceutical companies to reformulate existing drugs on the market, thereby extending the lifetime of products and enhancing the performance of drugs by increasing effectiveness, safety and patient adherence, and ultimately reducing healthcare cost. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the subject matter, this book includes contributions by experts from different fields, with various backgrounds and expertise. This book will appeal to researchers as well as students from different disciplines such as materials science and technology and various biomedical fields. The resulting work is a reference, and practical source of guidance for researchers, students and scientists working in the fields of nanotechnology, materials science and technology and biomedical science. The interdisciplinary approach and authorship enables readers from different fields to access recent research and protocols across traditional boundariesThe focus on protocols and techniques, as well as the knowledge base of the field, will enable those in industry (R&D) to learn about and successfully deploy cutting-edge techniquesExplores the applications of nano-drugs and their delivery systems, investigating the role they can play in key body systems and major disease types INDICE: 1.
