Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the development and characterization of pharmaceutical formulations and drug delivery systems. Research includes the evaluation of novel vaccine delivery methods, topical treatments for skin conditions, and strategies for subcutaneous injection. The journal also investigates advanced processing technologies for solid dosage forms, such as crystalline solid dispersions and amorphous solid dispersions produced via hot-melt extrusion and 3D printing. Furthermore, it explores in vitro models for predicting drug behavior in specific biological environments like the colon and the development of injectable hydrogels for localized drug delivery and tissue engineering.
