Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews

期刊简介：The aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for the critical analysis of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their applications in human and veterinary medicine. The Journal has a broad scope, covering the key issues for effective drug and gene delivery, from administration to site-specific delivery.In general, the Journal publishes review articles in a Theme Issue format. Each Theme Issue provides a comprehensive and critical examination of current and emerging research on the design and development of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their application to experimental and clinical therapeutics. The goal is to illustrate the pivotal role of a multidisciplinary approach to modern drug delivery, encompassing the application of sound biological and physicochemical principles to the engineering of drug delivery systems to meet the therapeutic need at hand. Importantly the Editorial Team of ADDR asks that the authors effectively window the extensive volume of literature, pick the important contributions and explain their importance, produce a forward looking identification of the challenges facing the field and produce a Conclusions section with expert recommendations to address the issues.Articles review the current status of a specific topic, giving equal emphasis to the identification of major conceptual and technological challenges to successful drug and gene delivery, to an evaluation of triumphs as well as shortcomings in current conceptual and technical approaches, and to a discussion of their possible solution.

【译文】该期刊旨在提供一个论坛，用于对先进的药物和基因递送系统及其在人类和兽医医学中的应用进行批判性分析。该期刊范围广泛，涵盖了从给药到特定部位递送的关键问题。一般来说，该期刊以主题特刊的形式发表综述文章。每个主题特刊都全面、批判性地考察了当前和新兴的研究，包括先进药物和基因递送系统的设计和开发及其在实验和临床治疗中的应用。目标是展示多学科方法在现代药物递送中的关键作用，包括将合理的生物学和物理化学原理应用于药物递送系统的工程，以满足手头的治疗需求。重要的是，ADDR的编辑团队要求作者有效地筛选大量文献，挑选出重要的贡献并解释其重要性，预测该领域面临的挑战，并在结论部分提出专家建议以解决这些问题。文章回顾了特定主题的当前状况，同等重视识别成功药物和基因递送的主要概念和技术挑战，以及对当前概念和技术方法的成功与不足的评价，以及对其可能解决方案的讨论。
