Emerging trends in the delivery of nanoformulated oxytocin across Blood-Brain barrier
Neurological diseases are related to the central nervous system disorders and considered as serious cases. Several drugs are used to treat neurological diseases; however, to date the main issue is to design a therapeutic model which can cross the blood–brain-barrier (BBB) easily. The delivery of …

Strategies for the delivery of antidiabetic drugs via intranasal route
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder defined by higher blood glucose levels in the body generally controlled by antidiabetic agents (oral) and insulin (subcutaneous). To avoid the limitations of the conventional routes such as lower bioavailability and pain at the site of injection in case of parenteral…

Big family of nano- and microscale drug delivery systems ranging from inorganic materials to…
Traditional drug administration routs suffer from low selective distribution, poor solubility, fast elimination and damaging adjacent healthy tissues (especially in cancer therapy). Thus, drug delivery systems (DDSs) which could deliver drug to target site have broadly been investigated to upsurge…
