Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials in Biological Systems and Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have developed rapidly in the past two decades at an accelerated speed, in both basic sciences and application domains. Nanomaterials are characterized by their nanoscale size (referred to as a size of 10^–9 m, i.e., in the range of 1 to 100 nm), volume, surface features, shape, synchronization, and function, with applications in chemistry, physics, mechanics, material sciences, and biological interactions.

Nanotechnology and nanomaterials are among the most promising technological developments of the 21st century. Nanomaterials are being applied in many fields as a new generation of technologies, such as in biomedical areas, particularly disease diagnosis and treatment. Their advanced physical and chemical features provide innovative solutions to overcome various obstacles and effectively deliver particles to regions of interest.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for recent research outcomes related to nanomaterials in basic biomedical sciences, the mechanisms of nanoparticle cellular and tissue regeneration and degeneration, new devices utilizing nanomaterials for diagnosis and therapeutics, and their potential applications in various diseases in human and other species. These will shed new light on the subject, leading to new basic science directions and clinical applications based on nanomaterials.

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.
