Nucleic Acids as Gene Anticancer Drug Delivery Therapy 1st Edition

by Loutfy H. Madkour (Author)

Nucleic Acids as Gene Anticancer Drug Delivery Therapy highlights recent developments in cancer treatment using nucleic acids, nanoparticles and polymer nanoparticles for genomic nanocarriers as drug delivery, including promising opportunities for targeted and combination therapy. The development of a wide spectrum of nanoscale technologies is beginning to change the scientific landscape in terms of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. This book presents the use of nanotechnology for medical applications, focusing on its use for anticancer drug delivery. Various intelligent drug delivery systems, such as inorganic nanoparticles and polymer-based drug delivery are discussed, along with smart drug delivery systems and nucleic acid-targeted drug delivery.

• Discusses intelligent drug delivery systems such as inorganic nanoparticles and polymer-based drug delivery
• Contains a comprehensive comparison of various delivery systems, listing their advantages and limitations
• Presents combination therapy as a new hope for enhancing current gene-based treatment efficacy
