Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The collection of papers presented in this 25th anniversary Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences features some of the most interesting developments in the field of Molecular Nanoscience. Over the last few decades, significant progress has been made in functional nanomaterials and the biology or life science application of nanomaterials. It is meaningful to investigate how the functional structure of materials influence biological performance in vitro and in vivo and how clinical requirements drive the design of new nanomaterials. Although many nanomaterials have been designed and synthesized over the years, with numerous reviews and articles exploring these topics, there is still a lack of in-depth investigation and a dedicated Special Issue on the biological effects of nanomaterials, particularly in fields of regenerative medicine, cellular therapy, radiology, and targeted therapy. This Special Issue also focuses on the development of specific approaches to study the biological application of 2D materials (i.e. graphene and nanosheets), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and the biological effects of smart nanomaterials, theranostic nanomaterials, nanocatalysts and nanozymes, and the computational biology of nanosystems.
We cordially invite scientists to contribute to this Special Issue, which aims to foster cutting-edge advancements in Molecular Nanoscience. As part of this Special Issue, we welcome submissions from researchers in the form of original research papers, communications, and review articles on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Functional nanomaterials
Design and synthesis or fabrication of functional nanomaterials and their applications in regenerative medicine, cellular therapy, radiology, and targeted therapy
- Nanostructure of materials
Two-dimensional materials (i.e. graphene and nanosheets), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
- Bioimaging and responsiveness of nanomaterials
Smart nanomaterials (i.e., pH/ROS/immune response materials) and theranostic nanomaterials
- Computational biology of nanosystems
Understanding the functions and behaviors of signal pathways, ion channels, and protein interactions from the perspective of computational biology and nanotechnology

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.
