State of the Art in Biomaterials for Drug Delivery

<p><span style=color: rgba(23 43 77 1)>Nowadays biomaterials are widely used in medicine and the medical care fields playing increasingly important roles due to their unique structure and excellent performance. In particular biomedical materials exhibit good biocompatibility and biodegradability which allow for their design in drug delivery to the human body.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(23 43 77 1)>Biomedical materials as anticancer drug carriers can be implemented in targeted drug delivery in the human body improve the utilization rate of the cancer drug effects and largely reduce the side effects of anticancer drugs on normal human body cell tissue. In addition the drug carrier can also effectively improve the properties and stability of anticancer drugs in tissues enhance the slow release of drugs and reduce the lack of drug use in the body. Moreover advancements in biomaterials have improved the safety and efficacy of diagnostic therapeutic and theranostic approaches for various diseases. The structures and interactions between biomaterials and drugs can influence the pesticide effect and have the potential to affect cellular physiology due to the close relationship between biological systems and biomaterial features. Drug delivery systems can also provide novel solutions by developing desirable and ideal materials to control the physicochemical biological structural and mechanical microenvironments for successful drug delivery.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(23 43 77 1)>This Special Issue focuses on biomaterials including but not limited to natural materials composite materials functionalized nanomaterials hydrogels etc. for different drug delivery applications.</span></p>
