Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For this issue of Molecules, we are interested in high-quality publications (e.g., research, reviews) covering all aspects of nano-based delivery systems for the treatment of different diseases. There are numerous drug delivery systems focused on the designing of novel delivery systems with the main focus on their application to disease conditions. Conventional delivery systems have many challenges such as side effects, high dosing and toxicity. The entrapment of drugs in the nanodelivery systems offers numerous advantages of increased solubility, targeted delivery, imaging, lesser toxicity and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. This Special Issue also covers the research/reviews addressing the delivery systems that present other relevant contributions to the field of nanomedicines.
