Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of the use of polymers for drug delivery is constantly growing; however, few reach the market. Currently, there are natural and synthetic polymers that are used to carry active molecules, although vesicles formed by proteins and lipids have also been considered polymeric carriers.
Therefore, recognizing viable trends for the industry offers a new perspective in designing innovative viable solutions for vehicles of active molecules.
