Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural and synthetic micro/nanoscale materials for drug delivery and disease treatment have attracted great attention worldwide in the past few decades. Fundamental research has demonstrated that the diagnosis and therapy efficiencies of diseases could be improved as the concentration of drugs (e.g., chemotherapy drugs, diagnostic reagents) in lesions are usually significantly enhanced by these biomaterials. More and more novel micro-nano materials with unique properties have been developed by researchers for the diagnosis and therapy of cancers, diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and other diseases. However, up to now, only a very small portion of micro-nano materials have been successfully applied in clinical practices. For this reason, this Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent scientific advances in the research of micro/nanoscale materials-based drug delivery and disease (cancer, diabetes, etc.) treatment.

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.
