This book is part of a series dedicated to recent advances on
preventive, predictive and personalised medicine (PPPM). It focuses on
the theme of "Drug delivery systems: advanced technologies potentially
applicable in personalised treatments". The critical topics involving
the development and preparation of effective drug delivery systems, such
as: polymers available, self-assembly, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical
formulations, three dimensional structures, molecular modeling,
tailor-made solutions and technological tendencies, are carefully
discussed. The understanding of these areas constitutes a paramount
route to establish personalised and effective solutions for specific
diseases and individuals.
