Advanced Biomaterials and Biotechnology in Drug Delivery Systems

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. - Covers advanced biomaterials and technologies, including polymers, nanomaterials, peptides, viral vectors, biosensing, and more- Utilizes key case studies to aid in understanding, including topics such as cancer therapy, mRNA vaccines, CRISPR, and biodegradable implants- Details regulatory and translational aspects that aid in the implementation of novel drug delivery strategies in practice
