Beschreibung:
Understanding and quantifying the effects of membrane transporters within the human body is essential for modulating drug safety and drug efficacy. The first volume comprehensively reviewed current knowledge and techniques in the transporter sciences and their relations to drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. In this second volume on Drug Transporters, emphasis is placed on emerging sciences and technologies, highlighting potential areas for future advances within the drug transporter field.
