Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rising incidence of tumors and the increasing demand for treatment, "Tumor Drug Delivery System" stands as a critical direction to address the limitations of conventional chemotherapy. Globally recognized for its importance in addressing these challenges, this field has garnered significant attention from the scientific community. Tumors, characterized by their multifactorial nature, pose therapeutic difficulties primarily related to targeting and individualization. While conventional chemical therapies have achieved some effectiveness in controlling tumor growth, their side effects and drug resistance present substantial barriers to improved outcomes. The complex characteristics of the tumor microenvironment—such as hypoxia, acidity, and high heterogeneity—complicate drug delivery further, making precise delivery systems essential for achieving personalized treatment goals. This Special Issue will focus on the latest research advancements, technological innovations, and clinical applications of tumor drug delivery systems, offering a comprehensive and in-depth academic platform for readers.
Biomedicines has launched a Special Issue dedicated to providing an in-depth overview of the latest advancements in tumor drug delivery systems, which encompasses but is not limited to:
- Design and Synthesis of Multi-functional Nanocarriers (e.g., lipid nanoparticles, viral vectors, and magnetic nanoparticles)
- Development of intelligent drug delivery systems (e.g., photo-responsive systems, temperature-responsive systems, or near-infrared light-activated systems)
- Biomedical applications of biomimetic delivery systems for tumor targeting efficiency
- Research and development of tumor vaccines
- AI-driven optimization strategies for drug delivery systems

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
