Moreover, the structuration of biopolymer-based materials at the nano- and microscale along with their chemical properties are crucial in the engineering of advanced carriers for drug products. Finally, combination products including or based on biopolymers for controlled drug release offer a powerful solution to improve the tissue integration and biological response of these materials. Understanding the drug delivery mechanisms, efficiency, and toxicity of such systems may be useful for regenerative medicine and pharmaceutical technology. The main aim of the Special Issue on “Biopolymers in Drug Delivery and Regenerative Medicine” is to gather recent findings and current advances on biopolymer research for biomedical applications, particularly in regenerative medicine, wound healing, and drug delivery. Contributions to this issue can be as original research or review articles and may cover all aspects of biopolymer research, ranging from the chemical synthesis and characterization of modified biopolymers, their processing in different morphologies and hierarchical structures, as well as their assessment for biomedical uses.Medicinebicssccurcuminpectin aerogelschitosan coatingburst releasecontrolled releaseKeratosedrug-coated balloonpaclitaxeldrug deliverypre-clinicalperipheral arterial diseaseendovascularcellulose phosphatecellulose phosphate aerogelinterconnected porositysupercritical carbon dioxidetetrabutylammonium fluorideTBAF/DMSOpolysaccharideκ-carrageenandexamethasoneelectrochemical active deliver systemdoping agentcharged moleculeconductive polymerscolorectal cancerantioxidants5-fluorouracilpolymer nanomaterialsnanocapsuleschemotherapycryogelstarchNMR spectroscopymorphologydrug releasepolysaccharideshydrogelsprillingdropletsionotropic gelationdryingxerogelscryogelsaerogelslipid microparticlesPGSS®supercritical CO2modelingsolvent-free technologybiomaterialsporous materialsbiomimeticmulti-stimulationtissue engineeringMedicineGarcía-González Carlos Aedt1289222Gaudio Pasquale DeledtStarbird RicardoedtGarcía-González Carlos AothGaudio Pasquale DelothStarbird RicardoothBOOK9910557346803321Biopolymers in Drug Delivery and Regenerative Medicine3021104UNINA
