Advances and clinical transformation of microsphere drug delivery systems
The microsphere drug delivery systems have been extensively exploited for providing controllable drug release kinetics,enhancing drug stability and localized drug delivery.In past decade,dozens of microsphere drug delivery systems have been developed for clinical therapy of cancer,schizophrenia and neurodegenerative diseases(e.g.,Alzheimer's disease and Parkinsonism).In this review article,we comprehensively summarized the fabrication methods of drug delivery systems and highlighted their advances for clinical application.Furthermore,we analyzed the potential and the challenges for clinical translation of the drug delivery systems.
