Abstract
Mitochondrion, the energy generating organelle of the cell, is a subject of interest for selective targeting of therapeutic molecules, both Drugs and DNA, since it is found to be involved in numerous disorders like diabetes, neurodegenerative disease and cancer etc. Mitochondrial therapy can be made possible if the bioactive molecule is selectively delivered to the mitochondria of correct cell type, using cell specific ligands and mitochondriotropic molecules in designing of cell selective mitochondria specific carrier system. In this present review we will elaborate the role of mitochondria in human disease, cell specific ligands, mitochondriotropic molecules and their utilization in construction of such cell selective and mitochondria specific delivery systems that will make mitochondrial medicine practically possible.

Advancements in Robotic and AI-based Drug Discovery and Delivery for Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and brain tumors, pose significant challenges in drug delivery due to the blood-brain barrier's intricate structure and the complexity of neuronal networks. Traditional drug delivery methods often fall short in reaching therapeutic concentrations within the central nervous system, limiting treatment efficacy and ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Extracellular vesicles as drug delivery systems
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous vesicles released from almost all types of cells into extracellular space. EVs are categorized into different types including exosome (~30-150 nm), microvesicle or microparticle (~100-1,000 nm), apoptotic body (~1,000-5,000 nm), and others produced by different mechanisms. Since EVs bear the molecules (e.g., specific lipids, carbohydrates, ...read more
