Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the recent few decades, significant efforts have been made to deliver various drugs to specific regions within patients. We encourage researchers to submit their work to this Special Issue, sharing the latest advancements and perspectives on smart and advanced nanosystems for drug delivery that are enhancing therapeutic outcomes. This Special Issue focuses on the following:
- Nanomaterials constructed from synthetic polymers, biopolymers (such as proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids), inorganic elements, and their hybrids;
- Smart nanomaterials designed to control drug incorporation and release in response to specific stimuli, either intrinsic to the patient's tissues or from extrinsic artificial sources;
- Nanomaterials that enhance targeted delivery, increase bioavailability, and improve the pharmacological properties of drugs;
- Nanodrug delivery systems aimed at effectively combating specific diseases or enhancing human health;
- Nanomaterials that act as a drug by themselves.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
