Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing the medical field, such that the term “nanomedicine” has been coined to denote the application of nanomaterials to medicine. In fact, owing to their unique physicochemical properties at the nanoscale, nanomaterials have promptly offered significant advancements in diagnostic bioimaging, controlled drug delivery, and tissue engineering.
In recent years, scientific interest has focused on bioactive nanomaterials, which can modulate and/or elicit cellular behaviors and functions. For example, several nanoparticles of inorganic nature, such as metal and metal oxides, are gaining attention for their intrinsic anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antitumor activities. Furthermore, polymeric and lipid nanoparticles, traditionally used as “inert” biocompatible nanocarriers, are now emerging as potent immunomodulatory agents, depending on their composition and design. Thus, bioactive nanomaterials promise significant improvements in the treatment of several pathological conditions.
This Special Issue, titled "Advances in Bioactive Materials for Nanomedicine", aims to share the latest progress in the synthesis, design, characterization, and medical applications of bioactive nanomaterials of organic, inorganic, and hybrid nature. We welcome original research articles, communications, and reviews. Research topics include, but are not limited to, the following: nanozymes, biomimetic nanomaterials for regenerative medicine, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial nanoparticles, nanomaterials for anticancer therapy, immunotherapy, and vaccine delivery.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
