Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanometric systems are used for controlled drug release, gene delivery, tissue engineering, diagnostics, and theragnostics. They are composed of polymers, lipids, and inorganic materials and can be generated by self-assembling special templates through polymerization or crystallization. Many nanometric systems require fine-tuned physical properties to be suitable for specific biological applications. However, one property is common for all: the need for biocompatibility and bioavailability.
This Special Issue, titled “Novel Insights into Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery”, aims to provide an overview of the latest advances in these areas, from the generation of new nanometric systems with improved physico-chemical properties that provide high biocompatibility and bioavailability to their application in different areas of drug development.
This issue seeks to publish original research in the field of nanometric systems for drug delivery. One review paper will also be accepted.

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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
