Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing medicine and healthcare by offering cutting-edge solutions for diagnosis, treatment, and disease prevention. Nanomaterials, with their unique nanoscale properties, enable precise drug delivery, enhance diagnostic imaging, and drive advances in regenerative medicine: for instance, they facilitate targeted therapies, improve imaging sensitivity for early disease detection, and create scaffolds that support tissue regeneration.
In the infection domain, nanomaterials provide innovative approaches, including antimicrobial nanoparticles which neutralize pathogens, coatings which prevent bacterial adhesion on medical devices, and strategies to tackle antibiotic resistance by disrupting biofilms and enhancing antibiotic efficacy.
Despite these advancements, challenges such as biocompatibility, toxicity, and regulatory hurdles persist. This Special Issue on "Nanomaterials in Medicine and Healthcare" features research articles and reviews that showcase recent developments and future directions in the field, aiming to inspire further research and collaboration to advance nanomedicine and enhance patient outcomes.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
