A practical resource for everyone involved in the gene therapy field and in the design of effective gene delivery systems, this volume presents an overview and update of recent advances in the field of non-viral methods for the in vivo transfer of therapeutic genes to biological targets using conventional routes of administration. Methods to control the spatial and temporal modulation of gene function in vivo as well as the level, duration, specificity, and fidelity of gene expression are described.The rational design and the applications of a variety of non-viral gene delivery systems, such

The pace of new research and level of innovation repeatedly introduced into the field of drug delivery to the lung is surprising given its state of maturity since the introduction of the pressurized metered dose inhaler over a half a century ago. It is clear that our understanding of pulmonary drug delivery has now evolved to the point that inhalation aerosols can be controlled both spatially and temporally to optimize their biological effects. These abilities include controlling lung deposition, by adopting formulation strategies or device technologies, and controlling drug uptake and release

Interfaces are of vital importance in many fields of application, but the phenomena are hard to visualize, and the theories are often linked to complex mathematical models. Interfacial Phenomena in Drug Delivery and Targeting, the fifth volume in the Drug Targeting and Delivery book series provides students and working scientists with a readable book on interfacial phenomena. The book does not hide away from the complex issues, but addresses the subject which will make it accessible to the scientist without previous experience of interfacial science. The book addresses a wide range of pharmace
