Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Drug delivery systems and devices constitute an important component of modern diagnostics and therapy and have been applied successfully in achieving targeted therapy and/or controlled drug release. The convergence of engineering, medicine, and pharmacy has led to the emergence of a number of innovative drug delivery systems and devices and profoundly influenced the application of drugs in clinical practice to improve drug therapy outcomes.
This Special Issue invites review and research articles to cover a broad range of drug delivery topics such as design, fabrication, in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as latest advances in drug delivery systems and device technologies and applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
