Unlock the Potential of Alginate in Biomedical Applications and Therapeutics

Alginate, a naturally occurring biopolymer, has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its versatility and potential in various biomedical applications and therapeutics. This comprehensive volume, edited by Md Saquib Hasnain (Author), delves into the latest research on the use of alginate and its modified forms in tissue regeneration, drug delivery, and other healthcare-related fields.

Exploring the Applications of Alginates and Modified Alginates

The book covers a wide range of topics, including the use of alginates and modified alginates in:

• Tissue regeneration and engineering
• Encapsulation and delivery of drugs, nucleic acid materials, proteins, and peptides
• Gene therapy and gene delivery
• Herbal therapeutic agents and nutraceuticals

In addition, the volume describes the synthesis and characterization of various alginate and modified alginate systems, such as hydrogels, gels, composites, nanoparticles, and scaffolds, which are crucial for their biomedical applications and therapeutics.

The Significance of Alginate in Pharmaceuticals and Materials Science

Alginate, being a naturally abundant biopolymer, has been found to possess non-toxic, stable, and biodegradable properties, making it an excellent excipient in pharmaceuticals. Its applications in medical diagnostic aids and materials science are vast and continue to grow.

With numerous research innovations in the field of alginate-based drug delivery and biomedicines, there is a growing need for a thorough understanding of the synthesis, purification, and characterization of alginates and its derivatives. This volume provides an abundance of information towards that end, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, scientists, and healthcare professionals.
