Synthesis and Application of Nanomaterials in Medicine and Related Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

The development of synthesis methods of various organic and inorganic nanomaterials, which differ due to morphology, functionality, toxicity, stability, and biological properties, certainly opens a broad route to their practical and innovative applications in medicine and related sciences such as clinical diagnostics and therapies, biomedical analyses, and pharmacology. Their small size and optical properties, and the possibility of surface modification, make different nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, quantum dots, as well as carbon based nanostructures, especially applicable in anticancer therapy, drug delivery systems, bioimaging of cells and tissues, and regeneration of tissues and organs. The unique spectroscopic properties of certain nanomaterials and their specific responses in the presence of biological substances make them very useful for the production of electrodes or sensors used for their detection and monitoring. Finally, some nanomaterials exhibit antimicrobial activity; hence, they can be applied for alternative antimicrobial therapies and treatment.

The present Special Issue is dedicated to all researchers and academics who deal with the synthesis, characterization, and practical applications of nanomaterials in new medical therapies, diagnostics, and analyses due to their biological activity with therapeutic relevance and other desirable physicochemical properties. Basic research aimed at elucidating mechanisms of action of these nanomaterials are also of interest for this Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
