E-grāmata: Dendrimers in Biomedical Applications

This book will provide comprehensive coverage of dendrimer applications and clear indications for future research. It will appeal to chemists, biologists and materials scientists, working in both academia and industry.

1. COST book focussing on improving existing therapies and finding new drugs based on dendrimers; 2. Important in drug delivery methods and therefore for drug discovery; 3. Biochemistry, pharmaceutical science, biomaterials science, drug discovery, therapeutic delivery; 4. Possible cross-promotion with drug discovery series; 5. Dendrimers are synthetic branched molecules allowing them to be easily targeted for specific receptors. Dendrimers are important molecules that are currently undergoing investigation for use in a variety of different biomedical applications. Following the work of COST action TD0802, the main objective of which is to improve existing therapies and find new drugs based on dendrimers, the book will provide comprehensive coverage of dendrimer applications. Providing clear indications for future research and applications, this text will appeal to chemists, biologists and materials scientists, working in both academia and industry. Dendrimers are important molecules that are currently undergoing investigation for use in a variety of different biomedical applications. This book explores the use of dendrimers for a variety of potential functions, including antiamyloidogenic agents, drug delivery systems, nucleic acid and RNA delivery vectors and to produce hybrid fibre platforms for nantechnology. Following the work of COST action TD0802, the main objective of which is to improve existing therapies and find new drugs based on dendrimers, the book will provide comprehensive coverage of dendrimer applications. Coverage includes modelling and molecular dynamic studies of dendrimers and dendrons, anionic dendrimer polymers, cationic carbosilane dendrimers and self-assembled multivalent dendrimers. Providing clear indications for future research and applications, this text will appeal to chemists, biologists and materials scientists, working in both academia and industry.
