Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoparticles are small particles that range between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. Given their nanoscale, they have unique material properties, and fabricated nanoparticles are used in a variety of applications, including medicine and pharmaceuticals, catalysis, and foods.
Biomolecules can also be engineered to have unique compositions and functions, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides. They can be collocated with various types of nanoparticles (e.g., metals and metal oxides) to utilize the inherent characteristics of the biomolecules to complement the unique properties of the nanoparticles, resulting in novel biomolecule–nanoparticle hybrids.
This Special Issue, “Recent Advances in Nanoparticles in Molecular Biology: Second Edition”, of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences will focus on the synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of nanoparticles in molecular biology. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- The synthesis and functionalization of novel biomolecule–nanoparticle hybrids;
- The application of nanoparticles in cancer treatment;
- The preparation of nanomedicines utilizing nanoparticles and their pharmacokinetics;
- The mechanistic study of nanoparticle–cell interactions;
- The cytotoxic potential of nanoparticles.
Original research papers and reviews on the application of nanoparticles in molecular biology are welcome.

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. 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.
