Preface

Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Despite numerous advancements in understanding its pathogenesis and the development of therapeutic strategies, psoriasis remains a challenging condition to manage effectively. The need for novel and efficient delivery systems to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of existing and new drugs is paramount.

"Novel Carriers for Psoriasis Management and Pharmacotherapy" aims to bridge the gap between current treatment limitations and emerging innovations in drug delivery systems. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in carrier technologies, including nanostructured lipid carriers, liposomes, ethosomes, and other cutting-edge formulations designed to optimize the delivery of therapeutic agents to psoriatic lesions.

Through detailed chapters contributed by leading researchers and experts in the field, readers will gain insights into the principles of carrier design, the mechanisms of action, and the therapeutic potential of various novel carriers. Additionally, the book discusses the challenges and future directions in the development and clinical application of these advanced delivery systems.

We hope this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in dermatology, pharmaceutical sciences, and drug delivery technologies. By exploring the intersection of psoriasis management and innovative drug delivery systems, we aim to inspire further research and development, ultimately improving the quality of life for patients suffering from this debilitating condition.
