Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “New Platform for Tuberculosis Therapy”, aims to explore and discuss the latest advancements in the development of novel drug delivery systems and formulations for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). TB is a major global health problem, and the need for more effective and safer anti-TB drugs is urgent. Traditional treatment regimens are lengthy and associated with severe side effects, leading to poor patient compliance and the emergence of drug-resistant TB strains.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers and scientists to share their findings and insights on the development of new drug delivery systems and formulations for anti-TB drugs. It will cover topics such as the design and development of novel drug carriers, the use of nanotechnology in drug delivery, and the enhancement of drug bioavailability and targeting.
Potential topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development of novel and effective antimycobacterial agents;
- Innovative drug delivery systems for TB treatment;
- Emerging molecular targets for TB drug discovery;
- Host-targeted therapies.
By collating the latest research and advancements in this field, this Special Issue aims to promote collaboration and foster innovation in the development of a new platform for tuberculosis therapy.
