The reader will be introduced to various aspects of the fundamentals of nanotechnology based drug delivery systems and the application of these systems for the delivery of small molecules, proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides and genes. How these systems overcome challenges offered by biological barriers to drug absorption and drug targeting will also be described.

Biopolymers for 3D Tissue Engineering: Processing and Applications explores the critical role of biopolymers in advancing tissue engineering and 3D cell culture-key technologies in drug discovery, personalized medicine, and disease treatment. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the structure, properties, and processability of biopolymers with a focus on innovative techniques for converting them into functional scaffolds suitable for 3D cell culture. Sections cover carbohydrates, proteins, and synthetic biopolymers in a single, authoritative source, making it invaluable for students, researchers, professionals, and industry stakeholders.As scaffolds form the foundation of these applications, current options-primarily synthetic polymers like polypropylene, polyethylene, or polystyrene, and some natural materials such as collagen and silk fibroin-are often expensive and lack optimal properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical stability. This book addresses the global effort to develop next-generation scaffolds that overcome these limitations. As biopolymers offer a compelling solution, with inherent biodegradability, biocompatibility, and sustainability, this book guides on the latest technologies and innovations.Highlights biopolymers, offering the only comprehensive resource dedicated to their processing, properties, and applications in tissue engineering and 3D cell cultureCovers the full spectrum of carbohydrates, proteins, and synthetic biopolymers, integrating structure, processability, and scaffold design in one authoritative sourceBridges material science and biomedical application by providing practical strategies to develop cost-effective, sustainable, and high-performance scaffolds for medical use

The reader will be introduced to various aspects of the fundamentals of nanotechnology based drug delivery systems and the application of these systems for the delivery of small molecules, proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides and genes.

This book stands as the first and only compilation devoted to areca nuts and their byproducts. Starting from areca nuts, the book covers areca husks, areca sheaths, areca leaves and areca tree trunk for their composition, structure, properties and applications. The authors demonstrate that Areca and its byproducts can be used as source for fuel, fiber, composites, packaging materials, medical biomaterials, construction materials, and materials for environmental remediation. The book is aimed at advanced readers who are interested in biobased products, bioeconomy, sustainability and agricultural waste valorization. It is also a useful reference for engineers, scientists, and students working on alternative products and fibrous materials from biobased resources.
