Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to this Special Issue on “Current Research in Nanocarriers” in the Journal of Functional Biomaterials. This Special Issue serves as a platform to explore the latest advancements and breakthroughs in the field of nanocarriers, focusing on their pivotal role in precision therapeutic applications. Nanocarriers have revolutionized targeted drug delivery, gene therapy, and diagnostics, offering unprecedented opportunities for personalized medicine in various disease contexts such as cancer, inflammatory diseases, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases.
We are pleased to invite researchers and experts from diverse disciplines to contribute their original research, reviews, and perspectives on the design, development, characterization, and application of polymer, biomaterial, and inorganic nanocarriers.
Topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis of novel nanocarrier materials for hydrogel applications;
- Functionalization of nanocarriers for specific therapeutic purposes;
- Exploration of innovative delivery mechanisms and evaluation of the efficacy and safety profiles of nanocarriers;
- Utilization of nanocarriers for biosensors, diagnostic applications, and microfluidic platforms;
- Passive and active drug delivery using nanocarriers and gene therapy;
- Role of nanocarriers in personalized medicine;
- Nanocarrier applications in cancer therapy, inflammatory diseases, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases;
- Mechanistic understanding of nanocarrier drug product performance by contributing to the execution of in vitro/in vivo/ex vivo studies and utilizing advanced characterization tools.
