DNA Nanotechnology for Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

DNA nanotechnology is a cutting-edge field that harnesses the unique properties of DNA or DNA-inspired molecules to create nanoscale structures and devices with a wide range of biomedical applications. Researchers manipulate these molecules to design and assemble intricate nanostructures, such as nanorobots, drug delivery systems, biochemical sensors and tissue regeneration scaffolds. These DNA-based nanodevices can target specific cells or molecules, delivering drugs and therapeutic RNAs with precision, detecting biomarkers for diseases and even performing tasks like repairing damaged tissues. DNA nanotechnology holds great promise in revolutionizing diagnostics, drug delivery, biotherapeutics and regenerative medicine, offering highly customizable and biocompatible solutions to address various biomedical challenges.

We invite researchers to submit original research articles, communications and review articles covering recent advances in DNA nanotechnology and their biomedical applications. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to DNA nanotechnology for drug delivery, imaging probes for diagnostics, platforms for tissue engineering, etc.

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. Bioengineering 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.
