Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology has attracted much research attention over the past few years because of its outstanding properties, and nanoparticles have emerged as a promising strategy for drug delivery systems. These nanosystems can for instance improve drug bioavailability, reduce drug release time, enhance drug solubility, and eliminate drug aggregation, thus possessing the potential to minimize side-effects and improve the efficacy of drug therapies.
This Special Issue will highlight the latest research on nanoparticle drug delivery systems, and we invite you to provide novel evidence and summarize recent advances, trends, and future directions related to nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems, focusing on therapeutic applications.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
