updating And Expanding The Scope Of Topics Covered In The Previous Edition, This Fourth Edition Supplies New Chapters On Topics Currently Impacting The Field Including Cutaneous Metabolism, Skin Contamination, Exposure To Protein Allergens, In Vitro Absorption Methodology, The Percutaneous Absorption Of Chemical Mixtures, The Penetration Of Chemicals Through The Hair Follicles, Dermal Drug Delivery, Mechanisms Of Absorption, Nanoparticles And Dermal Absorption, The Absorption Of Drugs And Cosmetic Ingredients, Nail Penetration, And Other Current Research. Focusing on recent advances as well as updating and expanding the scope of topics covered in the previous edition, the fourth edition of Percutaneous Absorption: Drugs, Cosmetics, Mechanisms, Methodology includes new chapters on topics currently impacting the field including chemical mixtures, in-vivo and in-vitro absorption correlations, transcutaneous immunization, and hair follicle penetration. It emphasizes drug delivery techniques such as the use of microneedles, nanosomes, liposomes, microemulsions, phonophoresis, and the enhancement of oligonucleotide drug penetration. The Journal of Applied Cosmetology said the first edition was "indispensable." A number of mathematical models have been used to describe percutaneous absorption kinetics.
