Bio-Targets and Drug Delivery Approaches is an easy-to-read book for students, researchers and pharmaceutical scientists providing a comprehensive introduction to the principles of advanced drug delivery and targeting their current applications and potential future developments.
Polysaccharide Carriers for Drug Delivery presents the latest information on the selection of safe materials. Due to reported safety profiles on polysaccharides; they have been the natural choice for investigation. A wide variety of drug delivery and biomedical systems have been studied, however, the related information either concept-wise or application-oriented is scattered, therefore becoming difficult for readers and researchers to digest in a concise manner. This gathering of information will help readers easily comprehend the subject matter. - Focuses on biopolysaccharide-based, distinct approaches for drug delivery applications - Illustrates new concepts and highlights future scope for clinical development - Provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on different aspects of drug delivery technology
This book provides insight into the diverse aspects of the informal sector, its role in the context of unemployment, child labor, globalization and environment, as well as its multi-faceted interaction with the other sectors of the economy.
When a father helps his kids touch the sky and pluck the stars, why can’t kids do the same for him? We all know that the darkest nights produce the brightest moon and stars. “The Unkissed Lies” is a memoir woven with unconditional love and is dedicated by a daughter to her father. Her father met with a minor accident at the time when the WHO declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Everything happens for a reason, or does it? His daughter was never quite ready but she was brave enough to face the ordeal. This personal account captures themes and metaphors of personal loss, love, pain, hope, patience, strength, unity and everything in between. The author recounts and reflects how she dealt and haggled with the situation and the lies she had to tell her father, the policemen, the hospital staff, family and perhaps to herself.
