Innovative Drug Release and Vaccine Delivery Systems

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Innovative Drug Release and Vaccine Delivery Systems”, which aims to highlight recent advances in the field. Drug delivery research is a multidisciplinary effort ranging from basic science to clinical trials, aiming to develop advanced therapies for acute and chronic illnesses. Different approaches have been taken to improve drugs’ pharmacological profile, and to provide targeted and increased bioavailability. In addition, nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, as well as various biocompatible polymers, have gained attention in recent decades. We invite researchers to provide original research articles, as well as review articles, focusing on multiple issues about the design of original drug release and vaccine delivery systems, possibly revealing novel design technologies and biomaterials for drug delivery, including their obtainment, characterization, structure, original aspects, advantages, disadvantages, and various medical applications.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
