Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Nanosystems for Advanced Diagnostics and Therapy”. By combining nanotechnology with biomedical science, researchers have developed innovative nanosystems that boost diagnostic accuracy and improve treatment effectiveness. This Special Issue will showcase the latest breakthroughs in nanoscale technologies for medical imaging, disease detection, drug delivery, and theranostics.
We welcome original research articles and detailed reviews that explore the design, characterization, and application of nanosystems such as lipid-based nanoparticles, polymeric carriers, inorganic nanostructures, and hybrid platforms. We are particularly interested in systems enabling targeted drug delivery, image-guided therapy, multimodal imaging, or responsive behavior in biological environments.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development of smart delivery vehicles;
- Fine-tuning nanosystem properties for enhanced bioavailability or selectivity;
- Integration of diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities (theranostics);
- In vitro and in vivo evaluation and translational challenges;
- Radiolabeling strategies for molecular imaging.
This Special Issue aims to foster innovation at the intersection of pharmaceutical sciences, nanomedicine, and molecular imaging.

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.
