Advances in Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Therapies: A Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Perspective

Abstract

Catherine Jones

Targeted drug delivery systems have revolutionized the field of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences by enabling precise delivery of therapeutic agents to specific sites within the body. This article provides an overview of recent advancements in drug delivery systems, focusing on their applications in targeted therapies. The discussion encompasses various approaches, including nanoparticle-based systems, liposomes, polymerbased carriers, and antibody-drug conjugates. Furthermore, the article highlights the challenges and future prospects of targeted drug delivery systems, emphasizing the potential for personalized medicine and improved treatment outcomes. The development of drug delivery systems that can precisely target diseased tissues or cells while minimizing off-target effects has become a significant area of research in biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Traditional drug delivery methods often result in poor drug bioavailability, systemic toxicity, and limited therapeutic efficacy.
