Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nanomaterials have attracted a great deal of attention across various academic fields, including engineering, chemistry, solid-state physics, biotechnology, and biomedicine. The most important features of these nanomaterials are their polarity, modification capability, and property diversity. Therefore, the application of nanomaterials in the clinical field offers many revolutionary solutions in tissue reconstruction when the tissue is defective. In addition, nanomaterials are also useful in the development of multi-functionalized drugs and antibacterial products, etc. The changeable material design can derive a variety of clinical treatment strategies. Many metal therapeutic ions have been confirmed to have osteoinductive effects, and have recently been widely studied and applied in orthopedic clinical treatment. Some metal ions can induce the differentiation of pre-osteoblasts and promote the growth of bone tissues by inducing growth factor signals. These metal ions include calcium, cobalt, copper (II), lithium, magnesium, niobium, silver, strontium, vanadium, and zinc, etc.

This Special Issue focuses on the synthesis of metal nanoparticles and their pharmaceutical applications. We would like to invite you to contribute full papers, communications, or reviews to this Special Issue. Research topics of interest cover one or several of the topics included in (or related to) the keywords below.

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. Pharmaceuticals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 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.
