Proteolysis in the Interstitial Space

This book describes the biotechnology of human extravascular fluids and body secretions. It focuses on the dynamics of exchange between the vascular space and extravascular space. It includes those aspects of proteins and macromolecules which have commercial importance in therapeutics and diagnostics. Fluids to be covered includes: saliva, urine, interstitial and extravascular fluid, lymph, synovial, cerebrospinal, peritoneal, nasal and pulmonary, digestive tract, reproductive, and biomarkers. Knowledge of interstitial fluid dynamics is essential for transfusion medicine and dermal drug delivery. This book includes the most current cutting edge research.
