Tumor-Targeting with Stimuli-Responsive Vesicular Nanocarriers (Basics to Emerging Applications) - Ankit Jain, Nishit Mody, Srinath Palakurthi

Tumour-Targeting with Stimuli Responsive Vesicular Nanocarriers: Basics to Emerging Applications not only acquaints scientists and science interns with the fundamental knowledge of the experimental aspects and state-of-the-art technology for vesicular carriers to equip their rational application in tumor targeting, but also provides a holistic understanding of regulatory concerns, patents, and clinical trials. In 15 chapters. this book provides basics and advances in stimuli-responsive vesicular carriers for tumor targeting based on findings outlined in highly organized tables, illustrative figures, and flow charts. With a focus on the extrapolation of bioengineering tools in the domain of vesicular carriers, stimuli-responsive features concerning tumors, drug delivery approaches, and associated challenges, it helps readers to define the major gaps in knowledge that can lead to significant scientific discoveries in therapy, diagnosis, and theragnosis of cancer. * Addresses the unmet needs and challenges confronted by nanotechnologists to foster collaboration of biologists, chemists, physicists, bioengineers, and clinicians * Provides an explicit account of vital aspects of PEGylation of these carriers and challenges for effective tumor targeting * Presents a need-of-hour discussion over regulatory concerns, clinical trials, and patents
