| Summary |
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 |
