Biosimulation in Drug Development

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Drug development is far from a straightforward endeavor. It starts with the identification of a pharmaceutically promising substance, the potential of which is further investigated in near-exhausting physiological analyses (Chapter 1). If it is found effective, this does not necessarily mean that we know all the molecular...

Polysaccharide based Nano-Biocarrier in Drug Delivery

CRC Press, 2018

With the growing awareness of drug-induced diseases in the last few decades, the trend of phar maceutical research had shifted to drug targeting.

Introduction to Continuum Biomechanics (Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

This book is concerned with the study of continuum mechanics applied to biological systems, i.e., continuum biomechanics.
