Multifunctional Magnetic Nanomaterials for Molecular Imaging and Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

At present, one of the main objectives in the nanomedicine field is the development of a personalized medicine that enables an early diagnosis and individual treatment with the reduction of intake substances, thus reducing mortality and side adverse toxicity. Researchers are getting closer to this idea by synthesizing multifunctional magnetic nanomaterials in a single entity that enable the visualization and the follow-up of molecular processes at the cellular and molecular levels in living organisms with individual treatment, called theranostic as a combination of diagnosis and therapy.

In this manner, in this Special Issue, we want to focus on the latest original and novel results obtained in the synthesis of magnetic nanomaterials based on inorganic and/or organic nanoparticles (iron oxide-based nanoparticles, liposomes, micelles, etc.) with potential application as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents and also the possibility to use as therapeutic agents.

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.
