Nanoparticle Protein Corona and Its Biological Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The formation of the biomolecular corona influences the behavior of nanoparticles in vitro and in vivo and ultimately its final fate and successful application. Detailed investigation of the biological identity of nanoparticles under different physiological conditions and environments is needed to improve understanding of the protein-nanoparticle interactions. Therefore, it is essential to provide with precise analysis of the corona, to be able to predict the biological interactions and to improve nanomedicines toward its clinical translation.

In this Special Issue, we aim to provide an overview of the current advances and pitfalls on the bio-nano interactions field. We would like to invite you to submit research papers or review articles discussing the most recent advances in this research area. We expect contributions from a broad community of scientists working on a wide range of disciplines, covering from nanomaterial synthesis to biomedical applications, toxicity implications as well as novel approaches and biotechniques for accurate bio-corona analysis on nanoparticles.

We look forward to receiving your valuable research contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
