Nanoparticles in Nanobiotechnology and Nanomedicine: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, nanoparticles are of high theoretical and applicative interest; they have multiple applications in nanotechnology and nanomedicine due to their small size (nm to hundreds of nm), which gives them different properties to those of bulk materials. Modern nanobiotechnology enables the preparation and dispersion of nanoparticles in different environments, as well as their biofunctionalization, bioencapsulation, bioconjugation, biosurfactation, etc.; this renders them biocompatible with the biological environment in which they are applied, and enables their manipulation for application in the field of diagnostics, in therapy for various diseases and in nanotheranostics, as well as in alternative cancer therapies.

Thus, this Special Issue aims to highlight current research results in the form of articles, as well as the systematization of recent results in the field in the form of reviews. Also of interest are topics regarding the preparation, characterization and properties of nanoparticles, as well as theoretical and computational studies.

Possible topics include the following:

• Nanoparticles;
• Properties of nanoparticles;
• Methods of obtaining nanoparticles;
• Characterization techniques;
• Theoretical models;
• Computational simulation;
• Applications in nanomedicine;
• Applications in nanobiotechnology.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
