Drug Delivery Across Physiological Barriers by Silvia Muro (English) Hardcover B

Description: Drug Delivery Across Physiological Barriers by Silvia Muro Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description For most therapeutics, the targets of action are intracellular and/or require penetration across cellular and tissue layers. The design of strategies capable of controlling the transport of therapeutic agents through these physiological barriers has, hence, become an imperative and yet challenging need in the quest for better therapeutics. This book provides an overview of the current advances in this field from multiple perspectives, including considerations on the biological regulation and natural mechanisms overcoming these barriers, as well as drug delivery strategies facilitating the transport of drugs and their carriers at the Publisher Description Transport of pharmaceutical agents in the body is paramount to therapeutic efficacy. Advances in the past decades have rendered a remarkable improvement of drug delivery strategies, which has helped to increase the bioavailability of therapeutic agents by protecting them from degradation, targeting them to diseased sites, and controlling their circulation time and release rate. Additionally, for most therapeutics, reaching the targets of action require penetration across tissues and/or entry within cells. The design of strategies to control the transport of therapeutic compounds through these physiological barriers has become an imperative and a challenging need in the quest for better therapeutics. This book provides an overview of the current advances in this field, including considerations on the biological regulation and natural mechanisms overcoming these barriers, as well as drug delivery strategies facilitating the transport of drugs and their carriers at the tissue, cell, and subcellular levels. Author Biography Silvia Muro is an associate professor in the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research and the Department of Bioengineering, University of Maryland, USA. She obtained her PhD in sciences (molecular biology) from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain. She received a postdoctoral training in drug delivery and obtained a research assistant professor position in the Pharmacology Department at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. Her research focuses on targeting and transport of nanomedicines into and across cells, with emphasis on delivery of biological therapeutics for treatment of inherited enzyme deficiencies. Her work has received awards from the Controlled Release Society, the American Society for Nanomedicine, and others, and since 2012 she is a standing member of the Nanotechnology Study Section [NANO] of the USA National Institute of Health.
