Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The poor water solubility of bioactive compounds is a major challenge in the pharmaceutical industry. In recent decades, there has been an increasing amount of ongoing research on advances in synthesis procedures for uniform and high-quality nanocrystal preparation, as the latter are good candidates as a drug delivery platform for insoluble drugs. This Special Issue on “Nanocrystals for Drug Delivery” will publish research focused on such topics as designing and developing novel drug delivery systems, with a focus on their application to cancer diseases; short-term and long-term biocompatibility; and evaluation of their interaction with cells focusing on their trafficking and fate.
Regular research articles, short communications, and reviews on this topic are invited from research groups from all over the world to promote the dissemination of scientific knowledge through this open access journal. Researchers working in the field of nanocrystals and delivery systems and related disciplines are encouraged to publish their recent findings in this Special Issue of Pharmaceutics.
Dr. Viviana Vergaro
