Bioinspired systems materials derived from different living organisms such as plants, insects, mammals and marine organisms, to mention a few. These forms of design, processing and assembling complex structures to generate materials that are highly developed with minimal resources can serve as a model for design drug delivery systems (DDS) with optimal features. Bioinspired materials that involve the use of superhydrophobic surfaces, layer by layer assembly are being successfully implemented in order to create a wide range of polymeric and hybrid structures. Mimicking the surface, shape, texture and movements of cells bioinspired materials can help to overcome the phenomenon of the phagocytosis and in this way make the nanocarriers remain more time within circulatory system to increase the control space-time of therapeutic agent’s release.
