Beskrivning

Design and Applications of Microneedles in Drug Delivery and Therapeutics details the design, characterization, and applications of this novel drug delivery system. Microneedles offer several advantages over traditional oral and parenteral approaches due to their ability to be fabricated and altered in shape, size and material type, and their convenience to be matched to specific treatment needs. This book covers the materials selection, design and fabrication approaches, and clinical translation of microneedles for a range of therapeutic applications, including cancer therapy, gene and vaccine delivery, wound healing, and more.

This book is a forward-thinking resource for those working in the development of materials and devices for novel drug delivery.

Introduces the reader to skin anatomy and materials development in regard to microneedles as smart carriers for drug delivery, offering an interdisciplinary approach that will appeal to a wide audience
Covers a broad range of therapeutic applications, from ocular diseases and photodynamic therapy to sensing and cancer treatment
Provides an overview of the materials, design, fabrication, clinical translation, commercial aspects of microneedle development, and their applications in drug delivery
