Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, the development of multifunctional nanobiomaterials (NBMs) has led to innovative strategies and improvements in tumor therapy, particularly in achieving precise control over the therapeutic process to achieve higher therapeutic efficacy while minimizing side effects. Given the heterogeneous nature of the tumor microenvironment, NBMs require careful regulation of treatment in terms of timing, location, and dosage to deliver the appropriate dose of drugs at the optimal time and site in response to endogenous or exogenous stimuli, facilitating accurate tumor clearance. Driven by this demand, programmable nanobiomaterials (PNBMs) have emerged. PNBMs can achieve precise control over the behavior of materials in organisms through precise programming of components, structures, and functions, and better meet the needs of precision medicine and personalized medicine.
We invite experts interested in this thematic issue to submit original manuscripts and reviews on any of the above-mentioned topics.

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.
