Posted by Frontiers in Pharmacology calls for papers in thematic issue: Biopolymer Composite Materials as Drug Delivery Platforms for Regenerative Pharmacology.
Biopolymer composites, which combine biodegradable polymers with natural materials, have gained significant attention for their potential in controlled drug delivery systems. This research topic focuses on the development, characterization, and application of biopolymer composite materials as drug delivery platforms to facilitate regenerative pharmacology.
This research topic explores the synergy between biopolymer composite materials and regenerative pharmacology, focusing on the development of innovative drug delivery systems that can enhance the regenerative potential of pharmacological agents while addressing biocompatibility and sustainability concerns. It offers an interdisciplinary approach with relevance to both the fields of materials science and pharmacology.
Articles in the form of Original Research, Review/Opinion/Perspective, and Clinical Trial/Case Report are welcome. Contributions that relate to, but are not limited to, among otthers the following topics are expected:
• Drug Loading and Release: Examine the loading capacities and controlled release properties of biopolymer composites for regenerative pharmacology. How can drug release kinetics be tailored to support tissue regeneration and repair?
• Biocompatibility and Cytotoxicity: Evaluate the biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of biopolymer composite drug delivery systems. Investigate their suitability for delivering pharmacological agents to regenerating tissues without adverse effects.
• Targeted Drug Delivery: Explore strategies for targeted drug delivery using biopolymer composites, such as surface modifications, nanoparticles, or microspheres. How can these systems be optimized for specific regenerative applications?
