Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, nanomedicine has been successfully assisting preclinical and clinical investigations to effectively fight cancer and infectious, inflammatory or genetic diseases by reducing deaths and improving the quality of life of patients. Nanomedicine is a branch of knowledge born from the amalgamation of sciences such as biology, medicine, pharmaceutics, chemistry, and engineering. Referring in detail to drug delivery, nanomaterials and related methods and processes provide researchers, drug technologists and clinicians with systems, molecules or new functionalization and engineering solutions capable of making increasingly effective, safe and sustainable diagnoses and treatments.
Advanced nanomedicine and customized delivery tools face issues such as poor drugs stability or bioavailability, limited targeting ability and their relationship with the patients’ immune system and physiological barriers such as the blood–brain and placental barriers, gut epithelium and skin epidermis.
Despite the many recent steps forward, much remains to be completed for the optimization of new drug formulations that meet the required healthcare industry safety and quality standards.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect valuable contributions, research papers or reviews on the development, characterization and engineering of new nano-enabled advanced drug delivery solutions.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design of nanomedicine products for drug delivery;
- In vitro, ex vivo and in vivo tests of nanomedicine products for drug delivery;
- Engineering nanomedicine products for drug delivery applications;
- Drug delivery nanotools for diagnostic applications;
- Drug delivery nanotools for therapeutic applications;
- Drug delivery nanotools for theragnostic applications;
- Nanomedicine products for drug delivery in clinics;
- Safety and regulatory issues of nanomedicine products for drug delivery applications.

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.
