Marine Biomaterials : Therapeutic Potential

This book provides updated information on marine-based biomedical carriers and their therapeutic potential.

Marine biomaterials and bio-based carriers show wide application in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields to deliver small and large molecules.

Biomaterial-based composites, scaffolds, or matrix systems are sound systems for controlled and prolonged drug release in target sites and control the premature release of drugs or bioactive compounds.

This book discusses essential topics such as the therapeutic potential of marine collagen, management of bone disorders, gene delivery, natural marine compounds in immunomodulation, theranostic applications, tissue engineering, and regeneration.

It also describes the use of marine biopolymers in cancer therapy.

Different chapters describe the tissue engineering techniques to develop these carriers.

Marine biomaterial-based systems are popular for tissue engineering and biomedical imaging.This book is ideal for industry experts, students, and researchers in pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacology.
