Natural Products and Bionanotechnology for Cancer and Disease Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue of Biomolecules, “Natural Products and Bionanotechnology for Cancer and Disease Treatment” focuses on the novel studies on natural products and bionanotechnology for cancer and disease prevention and treatment. It covers natural products and bionanotechnology studies on drug discovery, functionality development, synthesis, diagnosis, delivery, therapy, and natural product genomics etc.

Natural products continuously play important roles in biomedical fields such as drug discovery and delivery for cancer and disease treatment. The development of novel bionanotechnologies can significantly improve the biomedical efficiency of natural product-based medicine. This Special Issue focuses on the development of natural products-related (but not limited to) bionanotechnologies and their applications in cancer drug discovery, diagnosis (e.g., lab-on-chip, biosensors), therapy (e.g., anti-cancer, anti-obesity, antibacterial studies), compound synthesis and separation, metabolism and genomic/proteomics expression, functional assays and screening, and natural product genomics.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
