Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Theranostics, combining therapy and diagnostics, is currently a dynamically developing field of science based on nanobiomaterials in the form of nanostructured materials such as nanocomposites, nanoparticles, nanolayers, or other nanometric forms. Polymers, ceramics, metals (including magnetic nanoparticles), nanometric forms of carbon, and biological structures are used here. New-generation nanobiomaterials in this field combine multifunctional solutions with specific composition and structure reacting to an external stimulus (smart materials). The development of such materials requires an interdisciplinary approach combining materials engineering, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, and medicine.
This Special Issue aims at enabling scientists to share their current scientific achievements in the development of nanobiomaterials intended for use in the broadly understood field of theranostics, including drug and biological molecule delivery (genes and aptamers), targeted therapy, cancer therapy, medical imaging and diagnostics, scaffolds for tissue engineering delivering biologically active agents, and in the treatment of bacterial infections.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
