This book goes in depth about the lymphatic system and the functions of the lymphatic organs, lymphatic tissues, and lymphatic vessels. The book addresses various types of diseases in which the lymphatic system can act as a targeting site for drug absorption and suggests strategies to treat these different infections of the lymphatic system. This book is intended for academicians who work in fields related to the lymphatic system, novel drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical science, novel-material sciences, as well as professionals in the medical, nursing, or other health care industries.

The Human Lymphatic System is essentially the body's drainage system. A network of small structures and vessels, called lymph nodes, collects fluid from around the human body and gets it back into the blood circulation. Any biology student would benefit greatly from a pamphlet that explains the basic functions of the human lymphatic system.

This book presents medical challenges as communication engineering problems. It offers the reader the interesting perspective of exploring and understanding disease pathology from the point of view of communication engineers. Therefore, diseases and their treatments can be addressed using conventional communication paradigms, approaches, tools and devices; thereby ushering in the interdisciplinary research platform termed advanced targeted nanomedicine. The rudimentary framework for advanced targeted nanomedicine is presented and expatiated across the seven chapters of this book.

The advances in drug delivery systems over recent years have resulted in a large number of novel delivery systems with the potential to revolutionize the treatment and prevention of diseases. Bio-Targets and Drug Delivery Approaches is an easy-to-read book for students, researchers and pharmaceutical scientists providing a comprehensive introduction to the principles of advanced drug delivery and targeting their current applications and potential future developments.
