Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the tremendous success of the third edition of our Special Issue, entitled “Applications of Nanomaterials in Biomedical Imaging and Cancer Therapy: 3rd Edition”, in which a total of seven papers were published (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nanomaterials/special_issues/Z0U20L95FF), we are pleased to launch a fourth edition.
Our first three successful editions of this Special Issue received a collection of excellent works on applying nanomaterials and nanotechnology in biomedical imaging and cancer therapy. We recognized that it was timely and necessary to launch a platform to share researchers’ studies in order to keep pace with the recent technological changes in nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to submit your research works to this new edition, focusing on studies using nanomaterials as enhancers in targeted therapy and precise imaging. Research papers we are interested in include, but are not limited to, those presenting developments in imaging agents and enhancers in cancer therapy, experimental results from cellular, preclinical, and clinical studies, drug nanocarriers, and computational methods/simulations of the interaction between nanomaterials and cell/DNA targets. This Special Issue aims to continue the success of our previous Special Issues, and we welcome the submission of original research articles, technical reports, and reviews.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. James C. L. Chow
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 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.
