Twenty-two chapters summarize current research and findings on nanoparticles for drug delivery, their route of administration, and their potential for specific disease therapy. The opening chapter describes liposome preparation methods, analytical techniques, the stability of liposome formulations, and drug-loaded liposomes for treating cancer, infections, arthritis, asthma, and psoriasis. Other topics include polymeric micelles, lipid nanoparticles, antitubercular chemotherapy, carbon nanotubes, dendrimers and hyperbranched nanospheres, toxicity issues, self-assembly of macromolecules, and ocular drug delivery. The contributors are researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and other institutions in Japan, India, Europe, and the States. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
