Description

Delivery of Therapeutics for Biogerontological Interventions: From Concepts to Experimental Design provides tactics on how to facilitate planning and research in interventive biogerontology. The book helps create clearer directions for the translation of existing advances in delivery technologies, from lab to practice. It is ideal as a starting point for scientists, clinicians and those interested in the field of biogerontology, biomedicine or nanotechnology, comprehensively discussing how to translate bench works to practicable tactics that retard the aging process. Using support from recent advances reported in literature, this title takes advantage of delivery technologies to develop biogerontological interventions, from concept to experimental design.

Key features

  • Provides the first comprehensive reference to guide researchers through the process of intervention development, from concepts, to practicable interventions
  • Covers the information needed to exploit the use of delivery technologies in intervention biogerontology
  • Presents complete coverage of advances in the field, all of which are supported by full color photographs, figures and references

Readership

Scientists, clinicians, as well as the general audience who is working or interested in the field of biogerontology, biomedicine and nanotechnology
