Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite developments in medicine and diagnostic fields, tumors remain among the leading causes of death throughout the world. Nanoparticles have been explored for biomedical applications, and are considered as a possible choice for experimental tumor therapies and drug delivery strategies. The unique properties of nanoparticles and the possibility of chemical modification and attachment of active substances allow the materials to be well-adapted to targeted antitumor therapies. Despite the great interest, the use of nanoparticles in antitumor therapies requires further research, particularly regarding the understanding of their biological interactions and distribution in the body and individual tissues.
Therefore, authors are invited to submit original research and review articles on the antitumor properties of nanoparticles and nanoparticles conjugates. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Toxicity;
- Interactions with cell cycle and biological pathways;
- Regulation of key tumor physiology processes including migration, invasiveness, autophagy, and angiogenesis;
- Interaction with the tumor microenvironment;
- Distribution in tissues and model organisms.

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.
