Nanoformulation Strategies for Cancer Treatment provides an up-to-date review on current developments and regulatory and clinical challenges in the field of nanopharmaceuticals and the effective treatment of diverse varieties of cancer. This important reference source is ideal for biomaterials scientists and pharmaceutical scientists working in the area of cancer diagnosis and therapy. Due to the high cost of traditional cancer treatment types, researchers have increasingly looked for new ways to augment the therapeutic performance of existing drug candidates. The use of nanotechnology-based approaches have gained significant momentum, thus leading to the launch of a series of new drug products. As nanopharmaceuticals improve the therapeutic performance of cancer therapy drugs, but also provide opportunities for site-specific drug targeting in tumors, this work is a welcomed resource on the topics discussed.

Advances in technology permeates every aspect of life, including the healthcare system. Nanotechnology based systems have gained popularity based upon their promise, size, and other characteristics. Multifunctional Nanocarriers for Contemporary Healthcare Applications is a critical academic publication that explores advancements in nanostructured systems, applications of these systems in healthcare, and biomedical applications of these systems. Featuring coverage on a wide range of topics, such as hydrogels, controlled drug delivery systems, and nanomedicine, this book is geared toward researchers, students, and academicians seeking current research on advancements and applications of nanostructured systems in the healthcare industry.

Ocular drug delivery is one of the most interesting and challenging endeavours because the anatomy and physiology of the eye render this organ exquisitely impervious to foreign substances including drugs. Conventional ocular formulations are no longer adequate and currently, nanocarriers for delivering drugs to the eye is emerging as an important area of drug delivery research. This book, therefore, focuses on PLGA-chitosan Nanoplexes as novel nanocarriers for ocular therapeutics. The development of Nanoplex carriers, their uptake mechanism and interaction with ocular surface, and their use for the treatment of ocular keratitis are discussed. The results should help shed some light on the use of these novel nanocarriers for ocular therapeutics, and should be especially useful to researchers or scientists working in the field of nanotechnology and drug delivery, pharmaceutical companies dealing with ocular therapeutics, and upto some extent to professionals associated with health care.
