Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The advancement of innovative nanomaterials has played a pivotal role in precisely targeting and labelling molecular and cellular structures for enhanced biomedical detection. Progress in nanotechnology, nanoparticles, molecular biology, and chemistry is allowing us to craft more discerning and responsive probes for biomedical imaging. In turn, this can facilitate the enhanced detection and characterization of biomedical diseases. Ultimately, this advancement could result in improved patient outcomes and the creation of personalized precision medicine treatments in the future.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will present the current state of the art in the use of nanomaterials for enhanced biomedical imaging. Combining multiple imaging modalities with advanced nanomaterials can enable the provision of safer and more extensive imaging data to improve our understanding and treatment of biomedical diseases. Nanomaterials can be optimized to deliver enhanced contrast and even therapeutic benefits. Significant advancements have occurred in the realms of inorganic contrast agents, gold nanoparticles, and organic nanomaterials. For this Special Issue, we invite contributions from leading groups in this field, with the aim of offering a balanced view of the current state of the art in this discipline. The future of nanoparticles in biomedical applications is very promising, and we hope that you will contribute your fascinating research to this key field through this Special Issue. Thank you for your time and consideration.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
