NANOPARTICULATE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS (HB 2019) Hardcover

This book centers on nanoparticulate nanocarriers and the latest developments in drug delivery technologies. It begins with an in-depth overview of polymeric nanoparticles, outlining their key physicochemical properties, roles in drug delivery systems, and associated challenges. The initial chapters also highlight their applications in targeting specific organs and treating various diseases and conditions. The second part of the book delves into specialized uses and methods involving nanoparticulate carriers, such as magnetic nanoparticles, therapeutic applications of gold nanoparticles, and the role of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) in cancer treatment. Part three focuses on lipid-based nanoparticles and their diverse uses, including their incorporation in skincare products. The final section explores emerging nanostructures, such as dendrimers for gene delivery and carbon nanotubes for drug transport. Altogether, the book presents cutting-edge research and practical insights, making it a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, faculty, advanced students, and industry professionals working in the field of nanomedicine and drug delivery.
