Polymeric Drug Delivery: Volume I: Particulate Drug Carriers

Following an overview, this volume describes in twenty chapters the use of carriers such as liposomes, micelles,
dendrimers, emulsion droplets, nanoparticles, and yeast cells in the (targeted) delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs, small organic molecules, macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, and metal ions for molecular imaging purposes. Different routes of application are described, including oral and transepithelial delivery.
