JOURNAL OF CONTROLLED RELEASE

The journal publishes papers on the science and technology of the controlled release and delivery of drugs and other agents. The terms "controlled release" and "delivery" are used in their broadest sense to include mechanisms such as diffusion, chemical and enzymatic reactions, dissolution, osmosis, targeting, and the utilization and manipulation of biological processes. A broad spectrum of papers dealing with all aspects of controlled release and delivery, including gene delivery, tissue engineering and diagnostic agents, is encouraged. The use of prodrugs and carriers such as water-soluble polymers, micro- and nanoparticles, liposomes and micelles is included in the scope. Relevant papers on the toxicology and biocompatibility of drug delivery systems are also published. In addition to original full length papers, notes, reviews and rapid communications, the journal includes book reviews, reports of future meetings, and announcements pertaining to the activities of the Controlled Release Society.

该杂志发表了关于药物和其他制剂的控释和交付的科学和技术论文。术语“控制释放”和“传递”在广义上包括扩散、化学和酶反应、溶解、渗透、靶向以及生物过程的利用和操作等机制。鼓励发表涉及控释和释放所有方面的广泛论文，包括基因释放、组织工程和诊断试剂。前药和载体的使用，如水溶性聚合物，微和纳米颗粒，脂质体和胶束包括在范围内。还发表了有关药物给药系统毒理学和生物相容性的相关论文。除了原稿、笔记、评论和快速通讯外，该杂志还包括书评、关于未来会议的报告和有关管制发行协会活动的公告。
