Reihe: Methods in Molecular Biology

This second edition volume expands on the first edition by providing up-to-date protocols to characterize nanomaterials used as drug delivery agents. The chapters in this book are divided into 5 parts and cover topics such as: advances and obstacles in nanomedicine research; methods to test sterility and endotoxin, physicochemical features, immunological effects, drug release, and in vivo efficacy. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Characterization of Nanoparticles Intended for Drug Delivery, Second Edition is a valuable tool for researchers and pharmaceutical and biotechnology developers who are evaluating the clinical potential of nanomedicines in preclinical studies.>
