Intracellular Delivery II

Fundamentals and Applications

  • Some chapters will serve as tutorials as they will feature step-by-step nanocarrier preparation and function
  • A new section on nanocarrier assembly via computing will provide a vehicle for future direction, that is towards their rational design
  • Applications in the wound healing is particularly emphasized
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Part of the book series: Fundamental Biomedical Technologies (FBMT, volume 7)

About this book

This volume is a continuation of Volume 1 following the previously published Editorial. More emphasis is given to novel nanocarrier designs, their characterization and function, and applications for drug discovery and treatment. A number of chapters will deal with nanofibers as a new major application within the biomedical field with a very high success rate particularly in wound healing and diabetic foot and spine injuries. A major new subdivision will deal with mathematical methods for the assembly of nanocarriers both for simulation and function.
