Advanced Nanomaterials for Potential Use in Healthcare

Dear colleagues,

As a scientific community, we strive to create and improve therapies to treat disease. If we can enhance the efficacy of a therapeutically-active compound by incorporating it into a biocompatible material and, at the same time, limit its toxicity, this is considered a success. However, the real success is getting such materials translated into the clinic. The ability of materials to target disease and control-release their cargo give healthcare providers the ability to improve compliance and health outcomes.

Nanomaterials have been an exciting type of material to explore, but to ensure that our work can move into the clinic, we need to ensure biocompatibility and the improved performance of therapies. Thus, I invite you my colleagues to submit an article for review and potential publication in this Special Issue of Materials entitled “Advanced Nanomaterials for Potential Use in Healthcare”. If your work is in the preparation and characterization of such materials and/or their use in cell or animal models, we would greatly appreciate this opportunity to spotlight your efforts in this area. Thank you.

Dr. Anthony J. Di Pasqua

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
