Engineering next generation medicines: It’s all about delivery. Effective delivery strategies, wherein the nonconventional delivery vehicles such as nanoparticles, microparticles, microneedles, etc. are constantly explored to overcome poor physicochemical attributes of drugs (small and large), combined with the biological barriers, the immune system, and the disease in question. This special section on drug delivery technologies is an attempt to cover the length and breadth in the delivery space. It includes 17 minireviews and 17 original research articles.

The special section is in the JPET September issue. All content in the special section is freely accessible through November 30.
