Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoparticles, which are particles with at least one dimension smaller than 100 nm, hold great potential for advancements in various fields. However, with the increasing prevalence and widespread application of nanoparticles, concerns regarding their potential toxicity have become more pronounced. Despite the utilization of numerous animal models and cell-line-based simulations to assess the toxicity of nanoparticles and elucidate the underlying mechanisms, many aspects of nanotoxicity remain unclear. Therefore, it is imperative to gain a deeper understanding of this issue and identify potential solutions.
The objective of this Special Issue is to compile the most recent advancements in the field of nanoparticle toxicology. Our Special Issue has significant predictive potential for enhancing our comprehension of the potential biological effects, behaviour, and underlying mechanisms of nanoparticles.
This Special Issue will focus on the following topics:
- Safety assessment of emerging nanoparticles;
- Physiological, cellular, and/or molecular mechanisms underlying the toxicity of nanoparticles;
- Screening of low-toxicity or non-toxic nanoparticles;
- In vivo transportation and distribution of nanoparticles;
- Pharmacological strategies and toxicity prevention measures for nanoparticles;
- Ecotoxicological evaluation and model-animal-based toxicology for nanoparticles.

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.
