Cover Story: Scientists aim to create innovative solutions to develop drugs with improved therapeutic potential. Conventional dosage forms have limitations for advanced therapeutics, such as drug targeting. To address these limitations, nanofibers have emerged as novel materials, offering enhanced bioavailability, targeted drug release, and reduced toxicity. This review focuses on drug-loaded nanofibers and their potential in drug delivery, exploring different production methods. It highlights the importance, versatility, and adaptability of nanofibers in developing medicines with varied drug release kinetics. Challenges to their commercial realization include drug loading, the initial burst effect, residual organic solvent, active agent stability, and use of biocompatible polymers. View this paper
