Ruso Publisher: CRC Press Print ISBN: 9781498744966, 1498744966 eText ISBN: 9781315351865, 1315351862 Edition: 1st Copyright year: 2017 Format: EPUB Available from $ 23.18 USD SKU 9781315351865R90 This book presents an experimental and computational account of the applications of biopolymers in the field of medicine. Biopolymers are macromolecules produced by living systems, such as proteins, polypeptides, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides. Their advantages over polymers produced using synthetic chemistry include: diversity, abundance, relatively low cost, and sustainability. This book explains techniques for the production of different biodevices, such as scaffolds, hydrogels, functional nanoparticles, microcapsules, and nanocapsules. Furthermore, developments in nanodrug delivery, gene therapy, and tissue engineering are described.
