Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enzyme-based drug delivery systems usually refer to a specific drug delivery strategy, which can be catalytically activated at the lesion to achieve more efficient on-demand drug delivery. With the rapid development of precise drug delivery systems contributed by doctors, pharmacists, and scientists from biology, physics, chemistry, material, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, etc., many efforts have been made in the design and construction, therapeutic efficacy, and detailed therapeutic mechanism of this promising field to promote the clinical translation of enzyme-based drug delivery systems.
In the Special Issue, the articles, reviews, and perspectives are included but are not limited to the following two topics:
- Artificial-enzyme-based (including but not limited to nanozyme) drug delivery systems;
- Natural-enzyme-based drug delivery systems.
