Drug delivery systems (DDSs) enable the controlled release of drugs in the body. DDSs have attracted increasing attention for the treatment of various disorders, including cancer, inflammatory diseases, and age-related diseases. With recent advancements in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of aging, new target molecules and drug delivery carriers for age-related diseases have been reported. In this review, we will summarize the recent research on DDSs for age-related diseases and identify DDS strategies in the treatment of age-related diseases.
