Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is transforming medical research, especially in developing tiny drug delivery systems known as nano-DDS. This exciting area of nanomedicine uses the precision of tiny particles to deliver drugs right where they are needed, offering new hope for treating chronic illnesses and cancer. Nanoparticles, including liposomes, micelles, extracellular vesicles, virus-like particles and dendrimers, are at the forefront of this change, making treatments more effective and less harmful to the body. This Special Issue focuses on the characterization of these nanocarriers and the encapsulation of drugs for medical treatments.
The scope of nanomedicine extends to combating prevalent conditions like cardiovascular diseases or cancer therapy with ongoing research continually refining nanocarrier design and therapeutic strategies; this fosters the development of tailored medical interventions that redefine healthcare boundaries. Reports on innovative methods for synthesis formulation of drug nanocarriers and novel encapsulation strategies, characterization, and applications of the systems should contribute to this Special Issue.
The Special Issue is led by Dr. Sebastian Schwaminger and assisted by his Postdoc, Dr. Marco Eigenfeld (Technical University of Munich).

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.
