Nanotechnology and Drug Delivery, Volume One

CRC Press

This first volume of a series of two volumes analyzes the basics in the development of drug-loaded nanoplatforms, the so-called nanomedicines. > Forage crops include several species of grasses and legumes that are widely used as animal fodder in the form of hay, pasturage and silage, as well as for turf and erosion control. Some forage grasses are also being considered for bio-energy generation. In this book leading researchers review the latest advances in molecular genetics and genomics; they also examine the success of breeding programs for forage grasses and legume species. The book will be useful for students and young researchers with an interest in forage, turf and bio-energy crops improvements. > Prologue. Key Aspects in Nanotechnology and Drug Delivery. Drug Delivery and Release from Polymeric Nanomaterials. Nano-Sized Polymeric Drug Carrier Systems. Reversible Cross-Linked Polymeric Nanoplatform in Drug Delivery. Cyclodextrins in Drug Delivery. Drug Delivery Systems B.
