Polymeric Drug Delivery System.

As a part of our continuing activity, ongoing over the years at BIOLab of the University of Pisa, on the preparation and characterization of nanostructured polymeric devices (nanoparticles & nanofibres) for targeted administration of drugs and bioactive agents, the present contribution is aimed at providing information on the best suited procedures for the formulation of nanocarriers of biomedical and healthcare interest. Examples of polymeric nanoparticles formulation for the controlled, targeted release of antineoplastic drugs and bioactive agents selected for the treatment of skin diseases (psoriasis and dermatitis), are reported. It is essentially based on the follow-ups of formerly EC-funded projects, that that will contribute to the implementation of the ongoing EC project “NANOTHER” CP-IP 213631-2 and “SKINTREAT” CP-TP 213202-
