Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In light of the significant increase in drug delivery research using nano-based technology in recent years, researchers are continually discovering and developing new innovations while encountering and overcoming significant new technical and scientific challenges. Nano-based technology is being used not only to enhance absorption and bioavailability, but to sustain release, target active molecules to specific biological targets, and enable drug transport across biological membranes. This themed issue is designed to provide a collection of reports of such successes and challenges that can be used to move research ahead in the nanotechnology drug delivery community. Research reports on topics such as nanoparticles, lipid-based drug delivery systems, SEDDS, surface-modified particles, and nano-based systems including micelles, liposomes, and vesicles are of interest.

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.
