Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Drug delivery systems have achieved great development in disease treatments in the last few decades. Conventional dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, and transdermal gels, are usually associated with a low bioavailability, frequent application, side effects, and, hence, patient noncompliance. Novel drug delivery systems by integrating some strategies, such as enabling the controlled release of drug, helps to achieve localized delivery of therapeutics, provide targeted delivery of payloads, and offer attractive alternatives to traditional drug formulations.
Therefore, the Special Issue of International Journal of Molecular Science “Advancements in Drug Delivery Systems” will present the recent developments of drug delivery systems for disease treatments with the aim of enhancing knowledge of interaction of drugs, delivery systems, and therapies. We promote the submission of original research manuscripts and review articles relating to this topic.
