Silk-based Drug Delivery Systems
Silk-based Drug Delivery Systems by Elia Bari, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry on October 7, 2020, offers an in-depth exploration of silk proteins and their applications in drug delivery. This 229-page book presents a focused examination of silk proteins, highlighting their biocompatibility, controllable biodegradability, and non-immunogenicity, which make them significant in biomedical research.
Readers will find a comprehensive discussion on the extraction, structure, and properties of silk sericin and silk fibroin, along with their roles in micro and nano drug delivery systems. The book also addresses their application in pre-clinical and clinical trials, concluding with insights into sustainability-driven innovation within the pharmaceutical industry. This edition serves as a valuable resource for graduates and researchers in biomaterials science and pharmaceutical science, providing a thorough understanding of the emerging field of silk-based drug delivery systems.
Official synopsis Publisher
Silk proteins show excellent biocompatibility, controllable biodegradability and non-immunogenicity, and as such are studied extensively worldwide for biomedical applications. In particular, there is increasing interest in their use for drug delivery systems. This focussed book on silk proteins for drug delivery systems, delves into a key emerging area to outline the concepts and define the field.
Covering spider silk and silk worm cocoons, the editors elucidate the extraction, structure and properties of silk sericin and silk fibroin. Showing how these proteins are employed in micro and nano drug delivery systems, their use in pre-clinical and clinical trials, and closing with chapter on sustainability- driven innovation in the pharma industry, this book is ideal for graduates and researchers in biomaterials science and pharmaceutical science.
