Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mucosal drug delivery is a rapidly evolving field, offering innovative approaches for both local and systemic drug administration. This method leverages the body's mucosal surfaces, such as those found in the oral, nasal, and gastrointestinal tracts, to enhance drug absorption and bioavailability. The mucosal route has the potential to improve patient compliance through non-invasive administration and can be particularly beneficial for drugs with poor bioavailability when taken orally.
The mucosal delivery system allows for targeted drug delivery to specific regions of the body, reducing systemic side effects and enhancing therapeutic efficacy. This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring novel approaches and formulations in mucosal drug delivery, encompassing topics such as advanced drug delivery systems, biomaterials for mucoadhesion, and the latest in nanotechnology for enhanced drug permeation.
We are excited to bring together a collection of articles that will showcase the cutting-edge research and development in this dynamic area. We welcome submissions of original research articles and review articles that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in mucosal drug delivery.
Dr. Kunn Hadinoto Ong
Guest Editor
