Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue of Pharmaceutics titled “Fluorescent Probes as a Tool in Diagnostics and Drug Delivery”. This Special Issue aims to explore the innovative applications of fluorescent probes in the fields of diagnostics and drug delivery, highlighting recent advancements and emerging technologies as well as their impact on biomedical research and clinical practice.
Fluorescent probes have become indispensable tools in modern diagnostics, offering high sensitivity and specificity for detecting and visualizing biological molecules and processes. Their application in imaging techniques, biosensing, and molecular tracking has revolutionized our ability to diagnose diseases at early stages and understand complex biological systems.
Meanwhile, fluorescent probes enable real-time monitoring of drug distribution, release, and targeting within the body. They facilitate the development of novel delivery systems that can improve therapeutic efficacy and minimize side effects by ensuring precise delivery to target sites. The integration of theranostic probes, which combine diagnostic and therapeutic functions, represents a significant leap towards personalized medicine.
We invite researchers to contribute original research articles, reviews, and short communications that cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- The design and synthesis of novel fluorescent probes for diagnostics and drug delivery;
- Applications of fluorescent probes in imaging and biosensing;
- The development of theranostic probes and their clinical implications;
- Innovations in nanoparticle-based fluorescent probes;
- Mechanistic studies of drug delivery using fluorescent probes;
- Case studies demonstrating clinical applications and outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for sharing groundbreaking research and fostering collaboration among scientists in the fields of fluorescent probes, diagnostics, and drug delivery. We eagerly anticipate your valuable contributions that will advance knowledge and innovation in this exciting interdisciplinary area.

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. Pharmaceutics 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.
