Nanoparticles in Immunology

Dear Colleagues,

Recent developments in nanotechnology have led to a wide range of nanomaterials, with the purpose of interacting with the immune system. These novel nanomaterials are designed as carriers for a drug or antigen cargo to stimulate or suppress the immune system, encompass targeting moieties, such as peptides or antibodies, to direct material to certain cells to enhance immunity or imaging of immune system compartments. Furthermore, the inherent properties of nanomaterials are being used, enhanced, or altered to effect routes of application, delivery, and release of cargo.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will capture the current knowledge in this area, through original research and reviews so as to provide critical dialogue in synthesis of nanomaterials for a specific immunological 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 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.
