Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pulmonary drug delivery has emerged as a vital route for both local and systemic therapies, driven by the unique physiology of the lungs and the growing demand for noninvasive treatment options. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and critical reviews that explore the latest advances in inhaled formulations, microparticulate systems, novel excipients for pulmonary drug delivery, nanocarrier systems, aerosol technologies, and precision targeting strategies. From treating respiratory diseases such as infection, asthma, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to systemic applications including vaccines and oncology, contributions are invited to be made to this Special Issue to highlight the versatility and potential of pulmonary delivery platforms.
