Nanotoxicity Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing use of nanomaterials over a wide range of applications has led to an urgent need to evaluate the impact of these new materials on human health and the environment. To date, the potential toxicity of nanomaterials and their interaction mechanisms with cells and living organisms have not been fully addressed. Examining the toxic effects of nanomaterials at the molecular level can be useful for gaining insights into the mechanisms of toxicity and for identifying potential candidate biomarkers of exposure and response.

This Special Issue is open to original research articles, as well as review papers, and it will focus on the use of analytical and bioanalytical techniques for nanotoxicity investigations, covering everything from sample treatment and analysis using different approaches including omics techniques, to chemometric and bioinformatic tools used for data processing. Articles dealing with the development of novel analytical approaches and/or their use to the study of toxicity mechanisms induced by exposure to nanomaterials, as well as for the identification of potential biomarkers of toxicity or response, will be welcome.

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.
