Nanotechnology for Drug Delivery and Pharmaceutical Sciences presents various drug-delivery techniques that utilize nanotechnology for the biomedical domain, highlighting both therapeutic and diagnostic applications. The book provides important facts and detailed studies on different promising nanocarriers like liposomes, exosomes and virus-based nanocarriers. Moreover, it explores these nanocarriers' utilization in the therapeutic applications of various diseases such as cancer, inflammation, neurodegenerative disorders like Huntington’s disease, Alzheimer's disease, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and inflammatory bowel disease. In addition, the book describes how nanotechnology has efficiently overtaken conventional dosage forms and provided comfort and ease to patients. Relevant information regarding market trends, patents and social-economic factors are also provided, making this the perfect reference for doctors, researchers and scientists working in the fields of medicine, biochemistry, biotechnology, nanobiotechnology and the pharmaceutical sciences.
*4 stars* "...thoroughly discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using and producing nanomedicines and nanocarriers…. [providing] both an overview and detailed analysis of nanotechnology as it applies to the pharmaceutical industry and biomedical/healthcare field…. [It] describes nanotechnologies under development and those currently used in pharmaceutical products in impressive detail…. [and] uses full-color illustrations throughout, which are incredibly helpful in understanding the processes involved in the production and use of nanotechnology, as well as disease states that will benefit from said technology…. [P]rovides an extensive look at how emerging technologies can change the way medicine is practiced and shift the focus of pharmaceutical manufacturers toward more innovative and effective therapies. For those involved in pharmaceutical research, this is an incredibly useful compendium of knowledge…. [and] welcome addition to the field.” --©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Edward Jacob Feller, PharmD., B.A. in Chemistry (Main Line Health - Paoli Hospital)
