Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanocarriers are used as an effective medical intervention tool in the treatment and diagnosis of illnesses. The challenges that limit the effectiveness of drugs, such as low bioavailability, in vivo instability and poor adsorption, have been effectively addressed through the use of appropriate nanocarriers. Efforts to develop nanocarriers have been reflected in the trend towards marketing nanodrug-based products. Furthermore, several nanocarriers are currently in various stages of clinical trials. Around the world, nanomedicine products based on polymers, liposomes and nanocrystals are available for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, skin and eye diseases and microbial infections. This Special Issue will cover the recent progress in the development of small organic molecules, polymers, biomolecules and inorganic drug nanocarriers. The topics of this Special Issue include the preparation, design and biological assessment of nanocarriers, in addition to sensory applications, vaccine development, tissue engineering, bone repair and wound healing.

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.
