Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials have emerged as powerful tools in biomedical research, especially in the field of immunology. Their unique properties—such as their small size, high surface area, and the ability to be engineered for specific functions—make them ideal for applications in immune-related therapies. These materials offer new opportunities for improving the delivery of drugs, enhancing the effectiveness of vaccines, and developing treatments for diseases that involve the immune system.
This Special Issue, titled "Nanomaterials in Immunology", aims to highlight recent advances in this rapidly growing area of research. We invite you to submit your work, whether it be original research or reviews, that explores how nanomaterials can be used to interact with, modulate, or enhance the immune response. Studies that examine the safety and biocompatibility of these materials, as well as their potential for clinical applications, are particularly welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanomaterials as adjuvants in vaccines;
- Immunotoxicity and safety assessment of nanomaterials;
- Nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery for autoimmune diseases;
- Nanomaterials in cancer immunotherapy;
- Role of nanomaterials in immunomodulation;
- Interaction of nanomaterials with immune cells (T cells, B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells);
- Nanotechnology in allergy treatments;
- Nanomaterials for enhancing antiviral and antibacterial immunity;
- Biocompatibility and biodegradability of nanomaterials in immunological applications;
- Nanostructures in tissue engineering and immunoregeneration;
- Use of nanomaterials in diagnostic tools for immune diseases.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions that will advance our understanding of how nanomaterials can revolutionize immunology and related biomedical fields.

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.
