Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of nanotechnology has opened new frontiers in biomedical research, particularly in the development of bioactive nanoparticles for disease diagnosis and treatment. These nanoscale systems offer unique physicochemical properties that can be harnessed to overcome limitations of conventional therapies, enabling targeted delivery, improved bioavailability, and real-time monitoring of therapeutic outcomes.
This Special Issue, “Advanced Bioactive Nanoparticles for Precision Medicine”, aims to showcase cutting-edge research on the design and application of multifunctional nanoparticles engineered for precision medicine. The contributions focus on a variety of nanomaterials—including lipid-based, polymeric, metallic, and hybrid nanoparticles—designed to enhance therapeutic efficacy, minimize off-target effects, and integrate therapeutic functions within a single platform.
By highlighting innovative strategies such as surface functionalization, stimuli-responsive release mechanisms, and therapeutic approaches, this Special Issue emphasizes the translational potential of nanoparticle-based systems in clinical settings. These nanoscale platforms leverage unique physicochemical properties to accurately deliver personalized treatments tailored to individual patient profiles within a shorter timeframe. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of current advancements, address ongoing challenges, and inspire future research at the intersection of nanotechnology, biology, and medicine.

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. 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.
