Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second volume of the previously successful Special Issue "Drug Delivery Systems, What's New?" (Link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/bioengineering/special_issues/drug_delivery_systems_new).
Drug delivery is the method or process of administering a pharmaceutical compound in order to achieve therapeutic effects in humans or animals. Delivering drugs at targeted sites in a controlled release manner over time has become an attractive method in recent years. The tunable and responsive physicochemical properties of biomaterials apply to smart drug delivery systems. These drug carriers can be engineered to transport different types of cargo, such as small molecules, proteins, and genetic materials, enabling their applications in the treatment of many diseases. This Special Issue will focus on the new aspects of drug delivery systems. All original research and review articles related to this topic are welcomed.
Prof. Dr. Ching-An Peng
Guest Editor
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.
