Advanced systems for glucocorticoids' dermal delivery.

Introduction: Although the skin provides a natural physical barrier against particle penetration, there are opportunities to deliver therapeutic agents through this barrier. With rapid developments in materials science, pharmaceutics, and biotechnology, new systems have emerged for topical glucocorticoids (TG) delivery. Despite being a mature class of drugs, TG are still the most frequently prescribed drugs by dermatologists, explaining the interest on this field.
