Recent trends in nanotechnology-based drugs and formulations for targeted therapeutic delivery. Recent Pat Inflamm Allergy Drug Discov. 2016 Dec 13; Authors: Iqbal HM, Villalba A, Khandia R, Munjal A, Dhama K Abstract In the recent past, a wider spectrum of nanotechnology-based drugs or drug-loaded devices/systems has been engineered and investigated though using different methodological approaches including in-vitro, in-vivo, and ex-vivo techniques. Among them, nanoparticles-based therapeutic agents have been exploited for an enhanced and efficient delivery in the current biomedical sector of the modern world. However, the development of new types of novel, efficient and highly reliable therapeutic drug delivery system (DDS) for multipurpose applications is essential and also a core demand to tackle many human health related diseases. Moreover, this could also be helpful for an enhanced/better quality of patient life in a more secure way by avoiding/limiting drug abuse, or serious adverse effects of some in practice traditional therapies. In this context, nanotechnology-based several advanced DDS have been engineered with novel characteristics for biomedical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical applications that include but not limited to the enhanced/improved bioactivity, bioavailability, drug efficacy, targeted delivery, and therapeutically safer with an extra advantage of overcoming demerits of traditional drug formulations/designs....
