Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on drug delivery systems and their interactions with biological barriers. Studies investigate novel formulations, such as nanostructured lipid carriers, liposomes, and nanoparticles, for targeted delivery to the brain, skin, and respiratory tract. The journal also covers the development and evaluation of in vitro models to assess drug permeation and the impact of formulations on biological systems, including skin microbiota and the blood-brain barrier.
