Frontiers in Drug Delivery: Emerging Technologies and Therapeutic Innovations

Frontiers in Drug Delivery: Emerging Technologies and Therapeutic Innovations is an edited academic volume that presents contemporary developments in pharmaceutical drug delivery systems, from conventional dosage forms to advanced precision therapeutic platforms. The book is designed to provide researchers, academicians, postgraduate students, formulation scientists, and pharmaceutical professionals with a comprehensive understanding of emerging technologies shaping modern therapeutic delivery. The volume covers fundamental concepts, controlled and targeted delivery systems, nanotechnology-based platforms, biologics and nucleic acid delivery, smart and stimuli-responsive systems, transdermal and implantable technologies, regulatory considerations, translational challenges, and future directions in personalized medicine. Chapter 1, titled Evolution of Drug Delivery: From Conventional Dosage Forms to Precision Therapeutic Platforms, establishes the historical and conceptual foundation of the book by discussing the transition from immediate-release formulations to controlled, targeted, smart, and patient-specific delivery systems. This edited volume is being published chapter-wise, with the first chapter currently available and subsequent chapters to be added progressively after editorial and production processing.
