Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last thirty years, nanotechnology and nanomaterials have been broadly used in the fields of medicine, imaging, diagnosis, and vaccine to enhance public health. Multifunctional nanomaterials have shown excellent performance in delivering drugs and genes efficiently to the targeted tissues and diagnosing disease rapidly and precisely due to their unique structure and properties. Several nanomaterials such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, and inorganic particles have been approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in clinical application. Nanomedicine, combinational therapies, and nanotheranostics using advanced nanomaterials have attracted much attention and become the emerging technologies in healthcare that can improve treatment effectiveness and diagnostic accuracy. Cell–nanoparticle and tissue–nanoparticle interactions have been investigated to understand how the properties of nanoparticles modulate the performance of bioactive materials in cells and tissues, which provides an exciting prospect of being able to design functional nanomaterials with desired properties for treatment and diagnosis. Thus, this Special Issue aims to discuss and present recent progresses in nanomaterials for healthcare, including but not limited to nanomedicine, nanovaccine, biosensors, immunotherapy, combination therapy. The editors are pleased to invite high-quality, original research articles as well as review articles that provide new methods, new procedures, new results, or new understandings in this field.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
