Advances in Nanoparticle-Mediated Drug Delivery for Cancer Therapeutics

Development in fundamental knowledge and engineering sciences helps the field of pharmaceutics. Nanotechnology-based materials are emerging as drug delivery carriers, especially in cancer therapeutics. The Topical Collection entitled Advances in Nanoparticle-Mediated Drug Delivery for Cancer Therapeutics calls for cutting-edge research and review manuscripts dealing with insights of current developments of nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery in the treatment of cancer. The collection will be focused on molecular drug targets, including cancer-specific proteins, enzymes, and genes, which seek to elucidate the impact of new therapeutic agents on patient acceptability, preference, satisfaction and improvement in the quality of life of cancer patients.
