Gold Nanoparticles for Biomedical Application
This special issue belongs to the section "Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gold nanoparticles present a unique size and shape-dependent optical, catalytic, magnetic, and biological properties, which can be widely exploited in nanomedicine, from therapeutics to imaging, biosensing, and diagnostics.
This Special Issue highlights the advances and challenges of gold nanoparticle-based systems for biomedical applications, including findings on new properties, particular advances concerning fundamental studies (bionano-interactions), new synthetic methods improving their use in biology (i.e., bioconjugation, surfactant-free, controlled scale-up, etc.), in vitro/in vivo translational studies, new mechanisms for colorimetric sensing, and portable diagnostic devices. Original works as well as review articles focusing on these topics are invited.
Dr. Luca Boselli

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-anonymized 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.
