Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of smart technologies in the pharmaceutical field has increased notably over the last few years and demonstrates the potential to improve the production efficiency and quality of different pharmaceutical products. In this way, Artificial Intelligence tools such as machine learning have proven useful in the development of thermosensitive hydrogel formulations, microparticles, or nanoparticles enabling the controlled release of drugs. On the other hand, the implementation of smart manufacturing technologies such as 3D or, more recently, 4D bioprinting has allowed the obtention of functional scaffolds that are able to replace damaged tissues; this application is of great interest in regenerative medicine.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the current progress in the application of smart pharmaceutical technologies to develop formulations, or biomedical products useful for controlled drug delivery or tissue engineering applications. Original articles and reviews with a focus on this topic are welcome. Research areas might include (but are not limited to) the following: use of machine learning in 3D/4D bioprinting and Artificial Intelligence technologies for the development of smart drug delivery systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
