Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology has been widely and extensively applied in drug delivery because of its exceptional features in increasing drug loading and stability and reducing side effects, etc. As chemical communication and key biomolecular interactions in the brain occur at the nanoscale, the idea of exploiting advances in nanoscience to study brain structure and function has been gaining increasing attention. Nanomaterials can be utilized in inaccessible regions such as the brain, and they are able to provide protection to therapeutic agents while efficiently delivering them into the damaged areas.
We hope that this Special Issue will serve as a reference, inspire ideas for further research into brain disease and the neurotoxicity of nanoparticles, and facilitate the development of protective measures and treatment schemes for nanoparticle-induced neurotoxicity. The limitations of the current research and possible trends for future research will also be discussed.

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.
