Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoparticles, nanomaterials, nanorods, core–shell nanoparticles, and hybrid nanoparticles have been extensively studied for their use in various biomedical applications, including as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray computed tomography (CT), as well as in drug delivery, fluorescent imaging, biolabeling, biosensing, etc. Their properties are superior to those of conventional molecules and chelates. Many reports have detailed their synthesis, physicochemical properties, and biomedical applications, highlighting their unique and advanced properties that make them particularly useful in the diagnosis of diseases.
The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase a variety of nanoparticles and nanomaterials that can be applied in biomedicine, nanomedicine, and nanobiology, with a focus on their physicochemical properties and biomedical applications. The key topics addressed in this Issue will include the synthesis of nanoparticles and nanomaterials, the characterization of their physicochemical properties using various techniques, surface modification processes, and in vitro and in vivo biomedical applications. The surface modification of nanoparticles and nanomaterials with hydrophilic and biocompatible ligands is essential for their use in biomedical applications.

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.
