Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions related to the design and application of synthetic and natural nanomaterials that foster a diverse range of nanostructure-related discussions and seek a diverse, multidisciplinary group of presenters.
The application of nanotechnology to medicine aims to advance patient care through preventive measures, early diagnosis, and the effective treatment of prevalent, disabling, and currently incurable medical conditions. In the dynamic realm of nanomedicine, the choice of materials and fabrication techniques significantly influences the way that we administrate drugs to the patients and how such drugs reach their therapeutic targets.
Future nanomaterials must exhibit stealth properties, optimal receptor binding, controlled interactions with various cells and proteins, suitable kinetics, well-understood elimination pathways, and an absence of unintended toxicity. Given that the future of medicine will likely involve a transition towards personalized diagnosis and treatment, with nanomedicine playing a crucial role, the topics addressed in this Special Issue will allow researchers to enable a more comprehensive understanding of the health effects of nanomaterials and guide the safe development and use of nanotechnologies in the translation of research findings.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
