Novel Strategies in Targeted Drug Delivery Systems

This contribution book collects reviews and original articles from eminent experts working in the interdisciplinary arena of novel drug delivery systems and their uses in targeted drug carrier systems. From their direct and recent experience the readers can achieve a wide vision on the new and ongoing potentialities of different drug delivery systems. Since the advent of analytical techniques and capabilities to measure particle sizes in nanometer ranges there has been tremendous interest in the use of nanoparticles for more efficient methods of drug delivery. On the other hand this reference discusses advances in the design optimization and adaptation of targeted drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer cardiovascular pulmonary genetic and infectious diseases and considers assessment and review procedures involved in the development of uses of Nano-science in pharmaceuticals.
