Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Nanomaterials entitled “Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery”. It is known that nanoparticle-based systems for therapeutic applications have the ability to pass biological barriers and to target the affected tissues. In the case of drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles, they can enter and accumulate in the targeted cells and reach the drug therapeutic target, while reducing its systemic toxicity. Moreover, the release of the drug can be controlled and triggered by environmental factors such as pH, light, enzymes, etc.
The Special Issue aims to cover recent advancements in nanoparticle design and obtaining for drug delivery applications, characterization, and evaluation, as well as in vitro, in vivo, clinical, or in silico testing. Applications such as cancer therapy, antimicrobial, antiviral, wound healing, or tissue regeneration can be addressed.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
