Biomaterials for Advanced Drug and Therapeutic Delivery provides a detailed review of a range of biomaterials for drug delivery, gene, vaccine and therapeutics delivery, and wound healing and tissue regeneration. Divided into 5 sections, this book begins with an introduction to biomaterials for biomedical applications before systematically detailing advances in each application. A wide selection of biomaterials are covered, including nanobiomaterials, biopolymers, hydroxyapatite, lipid-based biomaterials, proteins, and more. In addition, the properties and characteristics of each biomaterial type is assessed, along with it’s suitability for a range of drug delivery and therapeutic applications.
The final section of the book provides insight into the safety, biocompatibility, preclinical and regulatory aspects of biomaterials use, exploring the translational potential of these novel materials and treatments. This book will be of use to researchers and academics in the fields of materials science, biomaterials, pharmaceutical science, and regenerative medicine.
