      abstract = {This book provides a concise and up-to-date overview of  the biological features justifying the use of different  human mucosa as delivery routes for biopharmaceuticals as  well as the technological strategies that have been  followed so far regarding the optimization of mucosal  potentialities. The book also addresses the challenges that  arise with the advent of new biopharmaceutical drugs and  alternative means of administration. After a brief  introduction, the first section addresses general aspects  of the biology of mucosal tissues and their unique aspects  towards beneficial or deleterious interactions with  biopharmaceuticals and delivery systems. The second part is  dedicated to the different delivery strategies that have  recently been investigated for different mucosal sites. The  third section describes the development and clinical  applications, either factual or potential, of particular  pharmaceutical delivery systems and products enclosing  biopharmaceuticals for mucosal delivery. Special focus is  set on the most successful case studies of recent years by  field experts or those engaged in developing such solutions  in a concise and practical way. The last section briefly  centers on pertinent aspects about the regulatory,  toxicological and market issues of mucosal delivery of  biopharmaceuticals.},
