免費試閱

Commonly used by researchers to develop technologies for modifying and studying genetic process, RNA interference (RNAi) has many potential uses in medicine, biotechnology, and functional genomics. This book covers all essential aspects involved in the development of RNAi therapeutics, providing detailed guidance on the challenges and opportunities of bringing RNAi technologies from bench to clinic. It explores the design and mechanism of RNAi molecules, delivery strategies, and therapeutic applications in various diseases. Preclinical, regulatory, market, and intellectual aspects of RNAi technologies are also covered.

Modeling Chemical Systems using Cellular Automata provides a practical introduction to an exciting modeling paradigm for complex systems. The book first discusses the nature of scientific inquiry using models and simulations, and then describes the nature of cellular automata models. It then gives detailed descriptions, with examples and exercises, of how cellular automata models can be used in the study of a wide variety chemical, physical, and biochemical phenomena. Topics covered include models of water itself, solution phenomena, solution interactions with stationary systems, first- and second-order kinetic phenomena, enzyme kinetics, vapor-liquid equilibrium, and atomic and molecular excited-state kinetics. The student experiences these systems through hands-on examples and guided studies.

This book is the first of its kind: a textbook and a laboratory manual about cellular automata modeling of common systems in chemistry. The book is designed to be used as a text in undergraduate courses dealing with complex systems and/or as a computational supplement to laboratory courses taught at the undergraduate level.

The book includes:

- Compact descriptions of a large variety of physical and chemical phenomena
- Illustrative examples of simulations, with exercises for further study
- An instructor's manual for use of the program.

The book will be of great value in undergraduate courses in chemistry, physics, biology, applied mathematics, and bioinformatics, and as a supplement for laboratory courses in introductory chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, medicinal chemistry, chemical engineering and other courses dealing with statistical and dynamic systems. It allows the exploration of a wide range of dynamic phenomena, many of which are not normally accessible within conventional laboratory settings due to limitations of time, cost, and experimental equipment.

The book is both a textbook on applied Cellular Automata and a lab manual for chemistry (physics, engineering) courses with lab activity. It would supplement other lab work and be an additonal book the students would use in the course.

The authors have assessed the emerging need for this kind of activity in science labs because of the cost of the practical activitites and the frequent failure of some exercises leading to lost didactic value of some experiments. This book is pioneering an alternative that will grow in use.

The authors see an emerging interest in this kind of work in courses that contain lab exercises. One such course is the graduate course that Lemont Kier gives in Life Sciences about complexity. He uses many examples and studies from Cellular Automata in the latter part of this course.

Provides both fundamentals and new and emerging applications

Advanced Drug Delivery brings readers fully up to datewith the state of the science, presenting the basics, formulationstrategies, and therapeutic applications of advanced drug delivery.The book demonstrates how core concepts of pharmaceutical sciences,chemistry, and molecular biology can be combined and applied inorder to spark novel ideas to design and develop advanced drugdelivery systems for the treatment of a broad range of humandiseases.

Advanced Drug Delivery features contributions from aninternational team of pharmaceutical scientists. Chapters reflect athorough review and analysis of the literature as well as theauthors' firsthand experience developing drug delivery systems. Thebook is divided into four parts:

Part I, Introduction and Basics of Advanced DrugDelivery, explores physiological barriers, stability,transporters, and biomaterials in drug deliveryPart II, Strategies for Advanced Drug Delivery, offerstested and proven strategies for advanced delivery of both smallmolecules and macromoleculesPart III, Translational Research of Advanced DrugDelivery, focuses on regulatory considerations andtranslational applications of advanced drug delivery systems forthe treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, sexuallytransmitted diseases, ophthalmic diseases, and brain diseasesPart IV, Future Applications of Advanced Drug Delivery inEmerging Research Areas, examines stem cell research,cell-based therapeutics, tissue engineering, and molecularimaging

Each chapter provides objectives and assessment questions tohelp readers grasp key concepts and assess their knowledge as theyprogress through the book.

Advanced Drug Delivery is recommended for graduates andupper-level undergraduates in the pharmaceutical sciences who needa solid foundation in the basics. It is also recommended forpharmaceutical professionals who want to take advantage of new andemerging applications in advanced drug delivery systems.
