Advanced Biomaterials and Biotechnology in Drug Delivery Systems provides a detailed review of the latest developments in drug delivery biomaterials and technologies. Sections cover historical perspectives and current trends in the field before exploring advances in a range of novel materials, methods, and technologies utilized in targeted drug delivery. The benefits and challenges of key biomaterials – such as polymers, peptides, and nanomaterials – are assessed, as well as rapidly-growing technologies and approaches such as gene therapy, CRISPR-Cas systems, immunotherapy, and biological response modifiers. Regulatory and translational considerations are also covered, enabling readers to make informed decisions in their research.
This is a useful reference of use to academics and researchers in the fields of biomaterials, pharmaceutical sciences, and biotechnology. This book may also be of interest to R&D groups developing novel biomaterials and technologies for targeted drug delivery.
