Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the continuation of our previous Special Issue “Nano & Micro Materials in Healthcare”.
The Special Issue “Nano and Micro Materials in Healthcare 2.0” aims to provide an exciting multidisciplinary platform for research in the application of nano- and micro-materials in the field of therapeutics for the improvement of human health. This Special Issue intends to cover a wide spectrum of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research areas related to biomedicine, targeted drug delivery, theranostics and personalized medicine. Pharmacological and toxicological evaluations of nano- and micro-materials are also welcome.
The scope of this Special Issue will cover (but is not limited to) the application of nano- and micro-materials in the following key subject areas:
- Medicine—studies on basic, pre-clinical, translational and clinical research in drug delivery (nano/microDDS), imaging, photothermal and photodynamic therapy, theranostics, gene therapy, immunotherapy, application in various health-related issues, such as cancer, cardiovascular, metabolic and infectious diseases, to name a few, along with applications in vaccines and precision medicine;
- Biomaterials—such as biocompatible/degradable materials, nano/microfibers, hydrogels, composites, 2D materials, biomimetic hybrids, biopolymers;
- Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine—including scaffolds, grafts and patches, cell and tissue engineering, tissue regeneration, wound healing;
- Devices for biomedical applications—such as BioMEMS, organs/lab-on-a-chip, diagnostic devices, biosensors, wearables, microfluidics, implantable devices, nano/micro-robotics.

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.
