Polysaccharide Carriers for Drug Delivery presents the latest information on the selection of safe materials. Due to reported safety profiles on polysaccharides; they have been the natural choice for investigation. A wide variety of drug delivery and biomedical systems have been studied, however, the related information either concept-wise or application-oriented is scattered, therefore becoming difficult for readers and researchers to digest in a concise manner. This gathering of information will help readers easily comprehend the subject matter.
- Focuses on biopolysaccharide-based, distinct approaches for drug delivery applications
- Illustrates new concepts and highlights future scope for clinical development
- Provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on different aspects of drug delivery technology
