A current era in pulsatile drug delivery system: Drug journey based on chronobiology.

Almost all biological processes in the human body are regulated by circadian rhythm, which results in drastically different biochemical and physiological conditions throughout a 24 h period. Hence, suitable drug delivery systems should be efficiently monitored to attain the required therapeutic plasma concentration and therapeutic drug responses when needed as per chrono pharmacological concepts. "Chronotherapy" is the fast and transient release of a particular quantity of drug substance post a predetermined off-release period, termed as 'lag time'.

Unlocking the potential of nanocarrier-mediated mRNA delivery across diverse biomedical frontiers: A comprehensive review.

A lot of products are in clinical trials and some are already FDA-approved.

Nanofibers: A current era in drug delivery system.

Nanofibers have a large area of surface variable 3D topography, porosity, and adaptable surface functions. Several researchers are researching nanofiber technology as a potential solution to the current problems in several fields. It manages cardiovascular disorders, infectious diseases, gastrointestinal tract-associated diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, pain treatment, contraception, and wound healing.

An emerging era in manufacturing of drug delivery systems: Nanofabrication techniques.

Nanotechnology has the capability of making significant contributions to healthcare. Nanofabrication of multifunctional nano- or micro-character systems is becoming incredibly influential in various sectors like electronics, photonics, energy, and biomedical gadgets worldwide. The invention of such items led to the merger of moderate cost and excellent quality nano or micro-characters into 3D structures.

Development and characterization of amphotericin B nanoemulsion-loaded mucoadhesive gel for treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Despite being recognized as the "gold standard" for treating azole-resistant vulvovaginal candidiasis, amphotericin B (AmB), an amphoteric molecule, has not been widely used due to serious issues with solubility and permeability. In light of the aforementioned, the objective of the present study was to increase AmB's therapeutic efficacy by formulating it into an o/w nanoemulsion (AmB-NE) system. Furthermore, to facilitate AmB-NE's retention within the vaginal cavity, it was loaded into a mixture of Carbopol® 974P and -based gel (CA gel).

Exosomes as New Generation Vehicles for Drug Delivery: Biomedical Applications and Future Perspectives.

Currently, particular interest among the scientific community is focused on exploring the use of exosomes for several pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. This is due to the identification of the role of exosomes as an excellent intercellular communicator by delivering the requisite cargo comprising of functional proteins, metabolites and nucleic acids. Exosomes are the smallest extracellular vesicles (EV) with sizes ranging from 30-100 nm and are derived from endosomes.

Nasal delivery of neurotherapeutics nanocarriers: Facets, aspects, and prospects.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the neurological ailments which continue to represent a major public health challenge, owing to increased life expectancy and aging population. Progressive memory loss and decrease in cognitive behavior, owing to irreversible destruction of neurons along with expensive therapeutic interventions, call for an effective, alternate, yet affordable treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Safe and effective delivery of neurotherapeutics in Alzheimer's like central nervous system (CNS) disorders still remains elusive despite the major advances in both neuroscience and drug delivery research.

Long-acting formulation strategies for protein and peptide delivery in the treatment of PSED.

The invigoration of protein and peptides in serious eye disease includes age-related macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, retinal neovascularization, and diabetic retinopathy. The transportation of macromolecules like aptamers, recombinant proteins, and monoclonal antibodies to the posterior segment of the eye is challenging due to their high molecular weight, rapid degradation, and low solubility. Moreover, it requires frequent administration for prolonged therapy.
