About this product
This collection of papers describes recent advances in drug delivery systems, with a focus on nanocarriers, controlled release mechanisms, and their biomedical applications. The selected contributions explore a wide range of strategies for improving the therapeutic efficacy and targeting of pharmaceutical compounds through innovative formulation approaches. Strong emphasis is placed on the development of transdermal patches, hydrogels, liposome-based carriers, nanoemulsions, and functionalized nanomaterials, all of which have been designed to optimize drug release profiles and enhance pharmacokinetics. Antibacterial and anticancer applications are particularly well represented, reflecting the current challenges in both infectious disease treatment and oncology. By integrating engineering, pharmaceutical science, and medical research, this collection offers a comprehensive overview of modern approaches to drug delivery and their potential for clinical translation. Furthermore, these works highlight the growing relevance of biocompatible and sustainable materials, along with mathematical modeling for release kinetics, in shaping the future of therapeutic technologies.
