Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials have attracted much attention in various fields of research due to their unique properties. Among these fields, the use of nanomaterials for biomedical applications could provide a breakthrough solution for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neuronal diseases. Many types of nanoparticles, including those metallic, polymeric, and semiconducting, exhibit specific functions depending on their type, size, and conjugated ligand. For example, polymeric nanoparticles can deliver drugs to the target site, and metal nanoparticles can deliver electrical charges with minimal resistance.
However, pristine nanoparticles cannot perform their function in clinical circumstances due to dissipation. Therefore, nanoparticles have been integrated with other materials (e.g., hydrogels, elastomers, and bioelectronics) to fix their location inside the body. In addition, the integrated nanocomposite exhibits functions of nanomaterials as well as the properties of the matrix. Therefore, the nanocomposite has demonstrated its practical potential in various biomedical applications.
In this Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, we welcome contributions from a wide community of scientists working on nanotechnology in biomedical fields. As the significance of nanotechnology has risen dramatically, we look forward to collecting novel manuscripts that address recent nanotechnological advances in biomedical fields in this Special Issue.

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.
