Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing interest in the biomedical applications of nanotechnology from academic and industrial researchers worldwide, driven by the outstanding benefits that their translation, can offer the enhancement of sensitivity, efficacy and safety of existing diagnostic, treatment and combination strategies, which over recent years have led to the development of truly disruptive technological solutions which hold a potential to revolutionalise healthcare. Empowered by the broadening knowledge of the genome, proteome, transcriptome, metabolome, biomedical informatics and other related fields. Nanotechnology is currently in a position to pave the way to patient-specific personalized medicine, seamlessly connecting the route of innovative nanomaterials, from bench to bedside. Some of them have already deservedly occupied their niches for future biomedical applications as drug-delivering “nanobullets”, supersensitive imaging probes, multifunctional theranostic systems, powerful antimicrobial agents, biosensors, “smart” biocompatible nanomaterials and implants, as well as tissue engineering scaffolds for regenerative medicine.
In this Special Issue of Nanomaterials we expect contributions from a broad community of scientists working on diverse applications of nanotechnology in biology and medicine, and interdisciplinary teams focusing on nanotechnology-enabled breakthrough solutions for biomedical research, diagnostics and advanced therapeutic approaches. As the safety of novel nanomaterials intended for the use in humans remains a matter of prime concern, we also anticipate the manuscripts dealing with these aspects of nanotechnology and nanomedicine 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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
