Lipid Nanoparticulate Drug Delivery Systems: Recent Advances in the Treatment of Skin Disorders
The multifunctional role of the human skin is well known. It acts as a sensory and immune organ that protects the human body from harmful environmental impacts such as chemical, mechanical, and physical threats, reduces UV radiation effects, prevents moisture loss, and helps thermoregulation. In thi...
