Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am putting together a Special Issue titled “Drug Delivery in Chronic Inflammatory Respiratory Diseases” that I think may be of interest to you. I invite you to submit a manuscript for consideration and possible publication in this Special Issue of Pharmaceutics. Chronic inflammatory diseases of the lung are a major health burden worldwide, and the need for better treatments and mechanisms to deliver these therapeutics are in high demand. This Special Issue aims to highlight research into new drug targets for diseases such as asthma, fibrosis, and COPD, among others, as well as novel methods for the delivery and manufacture of these therapies, including nanoparticle delivery via extracellular vesicles. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: novel drug discovery, delivery mechanisms (including extracellular vesicle delivery), newly identified targets for drug design, and therapy/treatments for chronic lung inflammation.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Kristopher R. Genschmer
