Advances in Biomaterials for Drug Delivery: Properties, Clinical Applications and Challenges comprehensively reviews various biomaterials and biomaterial-derived carrier systems, with a specific focus on their application in drug delivery, and their clinical and regulatory challenges. A broad range of biomaterials for drug delivery are covered, including natural biomaterials, inorganic biomaterials, synthetic biomaterials, 3-D/4-D printed biomaterials, metal-based biomaterials, and polymeric and lipidic biomaterials. Various drug delivery approaches are detailed, from pulmonary and transdermal through to oral and systemic. Key to translational success of these novel platforms are the regulatory and clinical aspects of biomaterials development and application; these aspects are covered in each chapter, providing vital insight required to make informed decisions. Advances in Biomaterials for Drug Delivery: Properties, Clinical Applications and Challenges is an interesting resource for researchers and academics in the fields in biomaterials, materials science, polymer science, and pharmaceutical science, as well as clinicians and R&D groups with an interest in the development of novel biomaterials for drug delivery.
