Special Issue Information
Developing and implementing nanomaterials for targeted medicine delivery are broad issues that may be covered in a special issue devoted to this topic. There is promising evidence that nanomaterials may increase medicine delivery's effectiveness, safety, and precision.
A special issue's subject matter could include, but is not limited to:
·Functionalization of nanomaterials with pharmaceuticals or targeting moieties, including the design and manufacture of nanomaterials, liposomes, dendrimers, polymeric nanoparticles, and metal nanoparticles for drug delivery. New nanomaterials for drug delivery might also be discussed in terms of their synthesis and characterisation in this area.
·Size, shape, surface chemistry, and stability are all crucial factors in a nanomaterial's biological performance. This section might be devoted to discussing how these factors are characterised in the context of drug delivery. Dynamic light scattering, electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy are all methods that may be included here.
·The use of nanomaterials in medicine delivery for conditions as diverse as cancer, inflammation, and infectious illnesses might be discussed here. The benefits and drawbacks of using nanoparticles as drug delivery systems might also be discussed here.
·To increase the specificity and efficiency of drug delivery systems, nanomaterials may be functionalized with targeting moieties like antibodies, peptides, or aptamers.
·The safety and regulatory concerns related to the use of nanomaterials as drug delivery systems, as well as their in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility and toxicity, might be discussed in this section.
·Possible topics for this section include translating preclinical studies into clinical trials, the scalability of nanomaterials production, and the need for standardisation and regulation in the nanomaterials industry regarding drug delivery.
Overall, a special issue on nanomaterials for drug delivery might provide a forum for researchers to report on their most recent work, discuss their methods, and inspire new studies in this dynamic and quickly growing area.
