Progress and Prospect of Nanocarriers: Design, Concept, and Recent Advancesexamines the different nanocarriers that are currently being developed for specific applications in biomedical drug delivery, disease management, diagnosis and therapy. Nanosized drug delivery systems have gained tremendous amounts of clinical interest due to their effective bio-distribution and enhanced pharmacokinetic and selective targeting capability which results in high therapeutic potential, low side effects, and the generation of cost-effective drug delivery systems. Numerous effective nanocarriers have been evolving, including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, microspheres, dendrimers, and carbon nanotubes. This book is a helpful reference for scientists and students in the fields of drug delivery, biomaterials and nanomedicine, as well as scientists and engineers in industrial disciplines of drug delivery and drug formulation. Focuses on multiple nanocarrier platformsExamines the different technologies that have improved drug delivery and suggests where the technology is headedWritten for researchers and students by diverse experts in biomaterials, drug delivery and nanomedicine | Progress And Prospect Of Nanocarriers by Sushil K.
