This collection explores cutting-edge clinical advancements in transdermal drug delivery, including, but not limited to:
Novel permeation enhancers for improved skin penetration
Microneedle-based systems for targeted and painless drug delivery
Liposomal and nanoparticle formulations for enhanced drug transport
Controlled-release technologies for sustained therapeutic effects
Biocompatible polymers for optimized patch designs
Applications in chronic disease management and personalized medicine
This Article Collection welcomes authors to submit Reviews, Original Research, short Editorials, Drug Profiles and Critical Perspectives.
The benefit of publishing as part of an Article Collection is that they often become a key resource, driving a research community forward. This has a synergistic effect on every article in the Collection. The articles often receive more views and higher citation numbers as the Collections receive increased promotion via social media and our marketing team.
If you are interested in contributing to the Article Collection or want to learn more, then please reach out to the Commissioning Editor, Katie Burbridge, who will be happy to assist.
