Dendrimers in Biomedicine

This special issue belongs to the section “Macromolecular Chemistry“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of dendrimers has evolved since the first report by Vögtle in 1978, from being mainly concerned with creating new structures to finding uses for them. The application of Dendrimers in Biomedicine is a field that is still under development, and although we have barely touched the surface, there are already examples of dendrimers being applied in transfection with DNA and siRNA in therapy or for cancer therapy, imaging, or as anti-inflammatory drugs, to name but a few. A lot of work is still required, and this Special Issue on “Dendrimers in Biomedicine” intends to collect results representing the entire field, in order to give a clear view of the present status. We welcome articles addressing synthesis, physical chemistry, molecular simulations, biological studies, thoughts on regulatory aspects, and other relevant aspects related to Dendrimers in Biomedicine.

Prof. Jørn Bolstad Christensen
Guest Editor

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.
