Innovative Drug Delivery Systems for Regenerative Medicine, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Regenerative medicine seeks to treat patients with dysfunctional tissue, and the development of innovative biomaterial-based technologies is the subject of intensive research addressing this issue. Regarding active compound delivery systems, the spatiotemporal control of the release profile represents a real challenge in terms of optimal activity, stability and safety and would offer personalized medicine. In response to these challenges, sophisticated delivery systems are emerging, and this Special Issue aims to review recent advances in this field.

Focusing on strategies for spatiotemporal control of drug delivery within scaffolds for tissue engineering, major mechanisms and critical factors affecting release profiles will be highlighted, as well as nanotechnologies and mathematical model contributions to these new therapeutic approaches.

This Special Issue aims to cover all the steps from bench to bedside, starting from basic principles underlaying the design of delivery vehicles up to regulatory frameworks governing clinical applications.
