Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the past few decades, significant achievements and progress have been made by many researchers conducting studies on the effective controlled release and target delivery of various drugs. Through these studies, the efficacies of drugs have been greatly increased, and the side effects have also been reduced. Despite the long-term efforts, researchers still have the challenges of developing new, more effective pharmaceutical forms and proving their effectiveness.
This Special Issue focuses on novel delivery systems that can effectively be delivered and released to specific body parts. Researchers can broadly cover the design, manufacturing, characterization, in vitro and in vivo evaluation of new pharmaceutical formulations, and review articles are also welcome. Your contribution through scientific outcome will inspire many other researchers and pharmaceutical industry workers. I look forward to submitting a number of good research results.
