Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoscale materials are increasingly understood as active modulators of cellular signaling rather than passive carriers. Their interactions can uncover non-classical or previously unrecognized signaling mechanisms that remain inaccessible through traditional approaches. This Special Issue focuses on how engineered nanostructures influence signaling dynamics, reorganize molecular interactions, and reveal mechanism-based insights that advance diagnostic precision and targeted therapeutic strategies. We welcome contributions that identify nanoscale-driven mechanisms, clarify pathway-level effects, or provide computational and AI-assisted predictions of nano-induced signaling behavior.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
