Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of nanotechnology has revolutionized the landscape of cancer research and treatment, offering unprecedented opportunities to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. At the forefront of this revolution are nanoparticles, which have emerged as versatile tools for precise and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to cancer cells. This Special Issue titled "Progress of Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Cancers" aims to provide an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in the use of nanoparticles to manipulate cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cancer biology and pathophysiology.
Recent years have witnessed significant progress in understanding the complex interplay between cancer cells and their microenvironment, as well as the intricate signaling pathways that drive cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. Nanoparticles, with their unique physicochemical properties and tunable surface chemistry, offer a powerful platform for interfering with these processes at the cellular and molecular levels. From drug delivery to gene therapy, from photothermal ablation to immunotherapy, nanoparticles are being harnessed to disrupt cancer-promoting signaling pathways, induce apoptosis, and modulate the immune response against cancer.
This Special Issue offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in nanoparticle-based cancer therapies, exploring their potential to revolutionize cancer treatment through precise manipulation of cellular and molecular mechanisms. We welcome the submission of both original research articles and comprehensive reviews and hope that the insights and findings presented here will inspire further research and development in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.

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. Cells 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 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.
