Nanocarrier Vaccines

This book details the benefits, restrictions, and types of nanoparticles used in the creation of vaccines for the treatment and prevention of illnesses.

In nanomedicine and nano-delivery systems, materials in the nanoscale range are used as diagnostic instruments or to administer therapeutic compounds to particular targeted regions in a controlled manner. By delivering precise medications to specified locations and targets, nanotechnology provides several advantages in treating chronic human illnesses. The use of nanomedicine (including chemotherapeutic medicines, biological agents, immunotherapeutic agents, etc.) in the treatment of various diseases has recently seen many notable applications. This book aims to be a single source material for understanding all the current and novel advancements in the field of nanotechnology.

In this groundbreaking book the reader will find:

• biodegradable and non-biodegradable formulations and properties such as size, shape, charge, inertness, efficacy, morphology, and more;
• show how different nanoparticles, such as lipid-based, viral vector-based, and metal, uphold very significant properties individually, suggesting applicability in various management tactics;
• examines how genetic information-carrying entities are becoming the norm for eradicating some diseases;
• gathers an exhaustive amount of information on routes of administration such as the oral route, mucosal immunity, intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intradermal;
• explores the legal regulations for nanotechnology-based approaches.

Audience

Researchers and pharmacy students in biomedical engineering and chemical engineering, biotechnology, as well as pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry engineers working in drug discovery, chemical biology, computational chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and bioinformatics.
