Abstract
Modern drug delivery aims to develop drug delivery systems that are able to meet specific therapeutic requirements. Whereas sustained drug release aims to maintain a constant drug level within the body, pulsed drug delivery intends to release the drug rapidly within a short period of time, as a result of a biological or external trigger, after a specific lag time. This editorial highlights some of the recent advances in new concepts for pulsed drug delivery and proposes some future strategies.Mesh：
