Summary：

Drug delivery systems describe technologies that carry drugs into or throughout the body. These technologies include the method of delivery, such as a pill that you swallow or a vaccine that is injected. Drug delivery systems can also describe the way that drugs are ‘packaged’—like a micelle or a nanoparticle—that protects the drug from degradation and allows it to travel wherever it needs to go in the body. The field of drug delivery has advanced dramatically in the past few decades, and even greater innovations are anticipated in the coming years. For instance, biocompatible drug delivery systems are alternative ones that can be used by both nanoparticles and liposomes. In this special issue, authors and researchers can submit their manuscripts focusing on different drug delivery systems design, nanoparticles and their synthesis by green methods, modeling by molecular dynamic simulation, biopolymers, application of supercritical fluid technology, etc.
