Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate in the following Special Issue of International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) on “Polymeric Nano-Biomaterials for Medical Applications”, the details of which can be found below:

Special Issue: Polymeric Nano-Biomaterials for Medical Applications;       
Guest Editor: Dr. Yulin Li; Dr. Jie Gao
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 May 2022.

This Special Issue aims to focus on the current and future development of functional polymer nanomaterials for clinical transformation applications. Polymer nanomaterials are emerging nano-sized biomaterials with broad application potentials in medicine, due to features such as quantum size, surface and macroscopic quantum tunneling, which lead to good magnetic guidance targeting and biocompatibility. At present, nano polymers have been applied in immunoassays and interventional diagnosis and treatment and as carriers for the controlled release of drugs, growth factor and gene delivery. This issue will cover research on novel approaches for the development of advanced nano polymers and their specific applications in the field of biomedical science, such as drug/gene delivery, sensing, tissue engineering, etc.

Given your expertise on this topic and related disciplines, we would like to invite you and your colleagues to contribute to this Special Issue. The article may be either original research or a review (mini reviews are excluded). If you decide to contribute, please let us know, and send us your manuscript before the deadline. We also encourage authors to send us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail ([email protected]) for approval by the Editorial Office. If you cannot meet the deadline, please feel free to contact us.

Prof. Dr. Yulin Li

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.
