Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Micromachines, titled “Magnetic Nanoplatforms for Biomedical Applications”, aims to explore the rapidly evolving field of magnetic nanomaterials and their integration into innovative biomedical technologies. Magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites have emerged as versatile tools with unique physicochemical properties, enabling significant advancements in targeted drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), biosensing, tissue engineering, hyperthermia treatment, and minimally invasive diagnostics. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and short communications that present novel fabrication techniques, functionalization strategies, and application-oriented studies involving magnetic nanoplatforms. Particular emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary approaches that combine nanotechnology, materials science, micro/nanofabrication, and biomedical engineering to address current challenges in clinical and preclinical healthcare. Contributions that demonstrate translational potential or introduce scalable manufacturing methods are especially encouraged.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Sandeep B. Somvanshi

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
