Drug Delivery Systems for Wound Healing

Drug Delivery Systems for Wound Healing, 1st Edition, is a reference volume edited by Pedro Fonte and Pedro Brandão that details pharmaceutical approaches, delivery carriers, and active drugs for therapeutic wound management. Published by Academic Press in November 2024, this 470-page text supports researchers in pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical sciences, and engineering fields alongside practicing physicians and pharmacists.

The material synthesizes key carrier designs and formulation strategies across multiple physical delivery platforms. Core technical coverage highlights polymeric drug delivery systems, lipid-based nanocarrier structures, metallic nanoparticles, self-healing biomaterials, and the delivery of therapeutic proteins. Each topical section examines how specific pharmaceutical delivery systems interface with biological tissues during the recovery process.

A key defining feature of the reference is its systematic analysis of clinical outcomes, biocompatibility, toxicity problems, and emerging pipeline products. This grounded coverage assists professional researchers and healthcare practitioners in evaluating carrier safety, biological responses, and translation requirements for modern wound management formulations.
