This invaluable reference presents a comprehensive review of the basic methods for characterizing bioadhesive materials and improving vehicle targeting and uptake-offering possibilities for reformulating existing compounds to create new pharmaceuticals at lower development costs. Evaluates the unique carrier characteristics of bioadhesive polymers and their power to enhance localization of delivered agents, local bioavailability, and drug absorption and transport! Written by over 50 international experts and reflecting broad knowledge of both traditional bioadhesive strategies and novel clinical applications, Bioadhesive Drug Delivery Systems discusses mechanical and chemical bonding, polyme...
Advances in Drug Delivery Systems, 6 focuses on the progress in drug delivery systems as manifested in the fields of international pharmaceutics, polymer science, biotechnology, molecular biology, and cell biology. The selection first tackles biologically engineered microstructures and approaches to targeting bioactive compounds. Discussions focus on therapeutic efficiency of fatty acylated antiviral antibodies; effect of artificial fatty acylation on protein binding and uptake; and controlled release of proteins from lipid microcylinders. The text then elaborates on mucosal delivery of macromolecules and targeted delivery of diagnostic agents by surface-modified liposomes. The book examines...
This practice-orientated guide provides comprehensive background knowledge for promoters of firms and all others involved in the sphere of biotechnology. Internationally acting professionals deal with subjects from business plan, financing/funding, site selection, patent portfolio, co-operations to long-term perspectives of how to prevail in the market. In a final chapter several promoters of firms report about their personal experiences. Apart from promoters of firms this book has also been written for educational organizations (universities), regulatory authorities, consulting firms, technology transfer centers, bio-science parks and financing/funding organizations or persons (banks, venture capital providers, other financiers). Book jacket.
From Breakthrough to Blockbuster: The Business of Biotechnology tells the astonishing story of how the biotech industry grew to thousands of small companies around the world, competing with the major pharmaceutical companies that had dominated for a century, and how academic research, venture capital, and contract research organizations worked together to support them.
