Nanoencapsulation II. Biomedical applications and current status of peptide and protein nanoparticulate delivery systems

Nanoencapsulation II. Biomedical applications and current status of peptide and protein nanoparticulate delivery systems.

The concept of polymeric nanoparticles for the design of new drug delivery systems emerged a few years ago, and recent rapid advances in nanotechnology have offered a wealth of new opportunities for diagnosis and therapy of various diseases. Recent progress has made possible the engineering of nanoparticles to allow the site-specific delivery of drugs and to improve the pharmacokinetic profile ...

Peptide and Protein Delivery at a Glance

Peptide and protein drugs have found an important position in therapeutics. Recent advances in pharmaceutical biotechnology have led to an increase in the number of protein products in the market. As these therapeutic proteins and peptides are made available, it will be essential to formulate these drugs into safe and effective delivery systems. The twenty different naturally occurring amin...
