Organelle and Molecular Targeting (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Milane, Lara Scheherazade; Amiji, Mansoor M.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Drugs must be delivered to the target tissue or, better yet, the target organelles. A more specific target minimizes toxicity and side effects and maximizes therapeutic effect. This book is a comprehensive review of Organelle Targeting.
