Among many approaches that have been taken to develop smart delivery systems for drugs and other therapeutic molecules, the most successful ones during the past years have been those which build on a natural process or mimic naturally occuring carriers, such as albumin. Front-line researchers in the booming field of nanobiotechnology describe the most promising approaches for bioinspired drug delivery, encompassing small molecule delivery, delivery of therapeutic proteins and gene delivery. The carriers surveyed include polymeric, proteinaceous and lipid systems on the nanoscale, with a focus on their adaptability for different cargoes and target tissues.
