Biotechnologically produced drugs drug delivery systems

Some researchers see a bright future for dendrimers in many different industrial, medical, research, and consumer applications. One company that produces dendrimers lists applications in drug delivery systems, gene transfection, biotechnology, sensors for diagnostics and detection systems, carbon fiber coatings, microcontact printing, adhesion, molecular batteries, catalysis, separation systems, lasers, composites, and ultrathin films used in optics. 

Most of the controlled-rclease delivery systems available in the market for systemic delivery of drugs utilize oral, parenteral, and transdermal route for their administration. Advances in biotechnology produced many gene, peptide, and protein drugs with specific demands on route of delivery. Thus, other routes such as buccal, nasal, ocular, pulmonary, rectal, and vaginal are gaining more attention.
