Drug Delivery Systems
Drug delivery systems are technological tools used to deliver therapeutic or diagnostic agents in various forms to a specific target in the body. These systems enable controlled, sustained and site-specific drug release, and can be composed of a variety of components, such as encapsulation materials, drug-release mechanisms and other components to facilitate drug targeting. By using drug delivery systems, drug therapies can be more efficient, reducing side effects and improving patient outcomes. Drug delivery systems are also used in medical imaging, to deliver diagnostic agents, and in gene therapy to deliver therapeutic DNA. Furthermore, drug delivery systems can be used in research, such as in studies of drug absorption and biodistribution.
