Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Different types of complex inorganic nanoarchitectures involving functionalized mesoporous silica, silicon, gold, silver, magnetite and other metal oxides, diamond, hydroxyapatite, and other types of inorganic nanoparticles are being demonstrated in the literature for efficient cancer treatment, imaging and construction of cancer-related biosensors. Even though organic types of nanomaterials (e.g., polymers or liposomes) are predominantly approved for clinical applications, inorganic nanoparticles are gaining substantial interest, with some also clinically approved, such as superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPION) and some other types of nanoparticles that are currently in the clinical trials (e.g., silica-based Cornell dots).
This Special Issue aims to continue upon our first Special Issue “Inorganic Nanoparticles in Cancer Therapy” in highlighting the richness of the inorganic nanoparticles in terms of their composition and morphology for applications in the construction of nano architectures for targeted therapy and imaging of cancer, as well as for the construction of cancer-related biosensors.

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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
