      Applications of Nanovesicular Drug Delivery provides thorough insights and a complete and updated discussion on the preparation, properties and drug delivery applications of various nanovesicles. This volume will discuss target-specific drug application, such as ocular, transdermal, nasal, intravenous and oral delivery. This title is a valuable resource for academics, pharmaceutical scientists, including industrial pharmacists and analytical scientists, health care professionals and regulatory scientists actively involved in pharmaceutical products and process development of tailored-made polysaccharides in drug delivery applications. Recently, there have been a number of outstanding nanosystems in nanovesicular carrier-forms (such as nanoemulsions, self-nanoemulsifying systems, nanoliposomes, nanotransferosomes, etc.), that have been researched and developed for efficient drug delivery by many formulators, researchers and scientists. However, no previously published books have covered all these drug delivery nanovesicles collectively in a single resource.
