The increasing emergence of skin diseases and the difficulty in treating damaged using conventional therapies have been calling for development novel drug delivery systems towards an effective topical administration. Drug are able to produce these results by means improved features, including controlled release, increased permeation retention, decreased systemic adverse effects. Natural polymers proved be good excipients incorporation hybrid (nanocarriers dispersed a semisolid base)...
Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDSs) have provided many priorities over other administration routes, especially the oral route. Despite their advantages, there are some limitations regarding TDDSs, including those dedicated to use of hydrophobic drugs. The emergence novel nanostructures has presented various opportunities develop advanced TDDSs overcome challenges on using these systems. Polymeric nanofibers present a unique structure for applications due large loading capacity and ease...
Abstract Cell membrane‐coated biomimetic nanosystems have been recognized as promising drug delivery vehicles in recent years for the management of diverse skin conditions. Nanoparticles (NPs) coated with biomembranes, derived from either cell membranes or subcellular structures (e.g., extracellular vesicles), offer an opportunity to combine biological interfacial characteristics coating alongside internal core component at nanoscale. The enhances biocompatibility NPs and their interaction...
