Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With technological advances, new trends in the development of conventional and nonconventional pharmaceutical forms for the release of small molecules (drugs, phytobiotics) and large molecules (therapeutic proteins) have emerged, with the aim of treating, preventing, or controlling a wide variety of diseases in humans and animals caused by infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
This Special Issue therefore aims to feature original research articles and reviews on new trends and/or advances in the development of conventional (capsules, tablets, solutions, emulsions, etc.) and nonconventional (modified-release systems such as tablets, microparticles, and nanoparticles) pharmaceutical forms, as well as their physicochemical characterization during the different stages of development through the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), as well as their evaluation in terms of dissolution and/or release in vitro, stability, and behavior in in vivo models.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
