Infos

Written by authorities in the field, this book provides a
"bottom up" approach to studying skin toxicology.
Principles and Practice of Skin Toxicology clearly
outlines basic concepts, cites historical and modern references and
contains a dictionary for easy reference. The inclusion of
global legislation and regulatory aspects on the topic makes this a
comprehensive review for every practitioner, clinical researcher in
industry and academia, and MSc and PhD student of toxicology.

* Different sections cover skin structure and function,
principles and measurement of skin absorption, clinical aspects of
dermal toxicity and in vitro alternatives.

* A section on regulatory and legislative aspects includes case
studies from the UK that fulfill European Union and US FDA
requirements.

* A glossary provides definitions of technical terms, and
the chapters contain an introduction, learning boxes and
summary section for ease of use.

* Includes a chapter on drug delivery through the skin.

* Addresses risk assessment: a key area for the interpretation of
skin absorption data that is rarely covered.

Rezensionen

"This is a very useful book for students or toxicologists who want to familiarize themselves with the specific subdiscipline of ermatoxicology, and with the currently validated methods of the trade. The fact that the book is easy to read with a logical story line makes it suitable for students." (BTS Newsletter, Summer 2009)
