Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Nanomaterials for Cancer Therapy and Bio-imaging” related to the recent advances in the field of nano-based approaches to cancer therapy and imaging. Nanomaterials have been in the focus of researchers for several decades; however, the transfer of the scientific findings to clinics is very limited. This could be explained with both unsolved difficulties in nanomaterials engineering and a lack of knowledge in tumor biology. This Special Issue aims to highlight the ideas and techniques able to overcome the main limitations of the implementation of nanoparticles, including tumor accumulation, drug resistance, cell interactions, biofunctionalization and bioimaging issues, etc., with the proper attention to the nature of limitation and to the way to overcome it. We expect that the manuscripts will provide a clear idea of the use of exciting opportunities of nanomaterials to enhance their therapeutic and imaging modalities. The theragnostic approach that combines both imaging and therapy in one platform is also of interest, as is the use of complex in vitro and in vivo models to demonstrate the advantages of the discussed nanomaterials. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.

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 2900 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.
