Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerous healthcare issues, lasting from injuries and wounds to oncological and cardiovascular diseases, advance the development of novel types of medicines and drugs that can be based on inorganic/organic (nano-)structures. It requires the involvement of specific biological, chemical and physical expertise to efficiently solve such issues with minimal side effects for living organisms.
This Special Issue is focused on the synthesis and characterization of different kinds of novel organic/inorganic multi-component (nano-)structures. Recent achievements of using such kinds of (nano-)structures for different healthcare applications (e.g., biosensing, bioimaging, cancer therapy, tissue engineering, etc.) will also be presented. Potential topics of this Special Issue are devoted, but not limited, to the following:
- Synthesis of novel organic and/or inorganic multi-component (nano-)structures;
- Characterization of novel multi-component (nano-)structures by means of different physical and chemical techniques;
- Study of mechanisms and processes of the interaction leading to the formation of multi-component (nano-)structures;
- Applications of multi-component (nano-)structures for solving healthcare issues;
- Other applications of multi-component (nano-)structures.
Original research and review papers on synthesis, characterization and healthcare applications are also welcome to be considered for publication in this Special Issue.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
