Abstract
One approach to improve the vaccine quality is the incorporation of immunomodulators and/or adjuvants with modified delivery systems. The use of delivery systems especially chemical carriers is a promising strategy in the prevention and treatment of infections, cancers, allergies and autoimmune diseases. These systems are able to elicit an effective immune response as well as stability and safety in vaccine development. Synthetic microparticles, liposomes, chitosan, virus like particle, polymeric nanogel, phytosome, noisome, and micro/ nanospheres have been applied as carriers, providing a broad variety of immunomodulatory effects in vaccines. The potency and nature of immune responses rely on the physicochemical properties of the vaccine constructs (e.g., size and charge), the route of injection, the biochemical characteristics and the amount of antigen. Three main steps are necessary for vaccine efficiency such as targeting, activation and transfection/ antigen presentation. These systems can generally influence the type and direction of immune responses. This review describes different vaccine delivery systems developed to generate immunomodulatory effects.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
