Scope
Delivering therapeutics in a way that is right for the patient - safe, painless, reliable, targeted, efficient and cost effective - is the fundamental aim of scientists working in this area. Correspondingly, this evolving field has already yielded a diversity of delivery methods, including injectors, controlled release formulations, drug eluting implants and transdermal patches. Rapid technological advances and the desire to improve the efficacy and safety profile of existing medications by specific targeting to the site of action, combined with the drive to improve patient compliance, continue to fuel rapid research progress. Furthermore, the emergence of cell-based therapeutics and biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, peptides and nucleotides presents scientists with new and exciting challenges for the application of therapeutic delivery science and technology.
Successful delivery strategies increasingly rely upon collaboration across a diversity of fields, including biology, chemistry, pharmacology, nanotechnology, physiology, materials science and engineering. Therapeutic Delivery recognizes the importance of this diverse research platform and encourages the publication of articles that reflect the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field.
In a highly competitive industry, Therapeutic Delivery provides the busy researcher with a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of all the latest relevant and significant developments, and focuses on how the technological, pharmacological, clinical and physiological aspects come together to successfully deliver modern therapeutics to patients. The journal delivers this essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats that are readily accessible to the full spectrum of therapeutic delivery researchers.
Articles published in Therapeutic Delivery cover key areas such as:
Delivery of small molecule drugs, vaccines, radionuclides, proteins, peptides, genes, siRNA, nucleotides, stem cells and diagnostic probes,
Targeting at the molecular, cellular, organ and systemic levels,
Techniques for crossing biological barriers, Methods for enhancement of pharmacokinetic profiles, Absorption/distribution pharmacokinetics in relation to drug delivery, Biodynamic and bioresponsive delivery, Stimuli triggered delivery, Parenteral delivery, Nanotechnology, Personalized therapeutic delivery, Drug release mechanisms, Combination products and delivery devices, Design and characterization of dosage forms, Drug formulation research and development, Physiochemical and biological properties of drugs, Intellectual property, competitor intelligence and partnering news, Cost / benefit analyses, In vitro, in vivo and in silico delivery studies, Emerging technologies.
