Innovations in Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery

Submit your research to Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery

About the Article Collection

Transdermal drug delivery systems allow for precise and controlled administration of therapeutic agents through the skin. These systems are revolutionizing clinical treatment paradigms by enhancing drug bioavailability, minimizing systemic side effects, and improving patient compliance. 

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.
