This book provides a detailed yet accessible guide to emerging trends in drug delivery systems. Topics encompass a wide range of delivery mechanisms, including nanotechnology-based carriers, controlled-release formulations, targeted delivery systems, and biologics, with a focus on their role in improving therapeutic outcomes. Emphasis has also been placed on regulatory challenges, translational research, and the integration of artificial intelligence in designing advanced drug delivery systems. Written for the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology series, chapters include the kind of specificity and expert implementation advice to ensure success in the lab.
Comprehensive and practical, Next-Generation Drug Delivery Systems serves as an ideal guide to how innovative drug delivery approaches can address critical challenges, such as enhancing bioavailability, reducing side effects, and achieving precise drug targeting.
