Bioinspired and Biomimetic Materials for Drug Delivery delves into the potential of bioinspired materials in drug delivery, detailing each material type and its latest developments.
In the last decade, biomimetic and bioinspired materials and technology has garnered increased attention in drug delivery research. Various material types including polymer, small molecular, protein, peptide, cholesterol, polysaccharide, nano-crystal and hybrid materials are widely considered in drug delivery research. However, biomimetic and bioinspired materials and technology have shown promising results for use in therapeutics, due to their high biocompatibility and reduced immunogenicity. Such materials include dopamine, extracellular exosome, bile acids, ionic liquids, and red blood cell. This book covers each of these materials in detail, reviewing their potential and usage in drug delivery.
As such, this book will be a great source of information for biomaterials scientists, biomedical engineers and those working in pharmaceutical research. - Explores latest developments for a broad range of bioinspired and biomimetic materials for drug delivery applications
- Helps researchers overcome the challenges of biocompatibility and immunogenicity in drug development
- Provides both theoretical and practical knowledge in regards to materials characterization and use in a range of drugs
