Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding field in medical sciences that has various applications in the health sector, particularly for the production of bioactive nanomaterials such as nanoparticles (NPs) and nanoconjugates for controlling several diseases. Green nanotechnology-based NPs and nanoconjugates have attracted huge interest because of their extensive biomedical applications. There are numerous types of nanoparticles, such as silver NPs, gold NPs, zinc oxide NPs, titanium dioxide NPs, cobalt NPs, copper (II) NPs, iron NPs, lithium NPs, and magnesium NPs, etc. The core features of these NPs are their small size with large surface area, modification capability, polarity, and property diversity. The application of these bioactive nanoparticles in the biomedical field offers many revolutionary solutions in the development of multi-functionalized drugs and products to control various diseases. NPs have shown promising results as alternative drugs for human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, wound healing, and infectious diseases. Various physical, chemical, and biological methods are commonly used for synthesizing different types of NPs and nanoconjugates. Among different chemical and physical methods, chemical reduction, electrochemical, physiochemical, and microwave irradiation are usually used for the production of NPs. The synthesis of NPs using macro- and microorganisms, such as extracts of plant parts, bacteria, algae, and fungi, is known as the biosynthesis of NPs. These NPs show a wide range of biomedical applications, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammation, and anti-cancer agents, as well as promising carriers for various drug delivery systems.

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.
