Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our next Special Issue on the ‘Emerging Trends in Nanobiotechnology and Nanomedicine’. This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent advances in the application of nanotechnology in the areas of molecular biology and medicine. Nanotechnology involves the encapsulation of synthetic, natural, and biotechnological drugs in nanocarriers to promote the therapeutic effects in the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases (caused by viruses, bacteria, protozoa), immunological diseases, tissue regeneration, and antigens for vaccines.
Areas of research may include the following:
- Functionalized nanocarriers for site-specific delivery of drugs, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, enzymes, hormones, antigens, and cytokines.
- Promotion of the bioavailability of oral, skin, mucosa, and other tissues.
- Development of nanoparticles (polymeric, lipid, metallic, ceramic, composite), liposomes, niosomes, polymeric micelles, nanoemulsions, and nanofibers containing biotechnologically active compounds and drugs for combined therapy.
- Nanotheranostics for obtaining images and treating diseases.
- Nanofibers containing biomolecules and drugs for tissue engineering and regeneration.
- Assessment of biocompatibility and safety of materials for transactional research and clinical use.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
