Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of nanoparticle-based radiopharmaceuticals holds great promise for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases. Nanoparticles can be used to deliver radionuclides, cytotoxic drugs, or imaging agents, offering multimodal platforms as integral approaches in the field of nuclear medicine. This Special Issue aims to explore strategies to improve targeting efficiency and to develop methods for encapsulating components that ensure safety and efficacy, in order to propose new approaches for the clinical translation phase.
The sub-topics to be covered within this Special Issue are as follows:
- Radiopharmaceuticals based on organic nanoparticles for combined therapies;
- Radiopharmaceuticals based on metallic nanoparticles for theranostic purposes;
- Radiolabeled nanoparticles for diagnosis or therapy.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
