Abstract
The combination of fields such as applied physics, biology, computational modeling and analysis, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, optics, and material science study has been made easier for the rise of stimuli-sensitive drug delivery systems. This study aimed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional therapeutic approaches by concentrating on the most recent developments in stimuli-sensitive drug delivery systems, which are intended to accomplish the targeted release of drugs in specified areas. This review aims to provide an overview of stimuli-sensitive drug delivery systems and recent advancements between 2015 and 2023 by focusing on their ability to respond to exogenous and endogenous stimuli. In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing innovative stimuli-responsive drug delivery platforms that can trigger various external stimuli, such as light, temperature, magnetic fields, and ultrasound. These exogenous stimuli-responsive systems enable on-demand drug release at specific target sites, allowing for personalized and patient-centric treatment strategies. Notable breakthroughs include photoresponsive nanocarriers, thermosensitive hydrogels, and magnetic nanoparticles, all designed to respond to specific cues for controlled drug delivery.
