Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic nanoparticle applications in the domain of personalized medicine through diagnosis and therapy have attracted tremendous interest in the scientific community. These nanoparticles are highly stable and have been successfully studied for the delivery of hydrophobic and hydrophilic entities in combination with real-time monitoring and targeted release under the application of a magnetic field. This behavior is the start of a big roadmap about the mechanisms of magnetic nanoparticle cell interactions. Different parameters will be taken into consideration like shape, size composition and surface chemistry.
In this Special Issue, we kindly invite authors to report experimental and theoretical results about novel magnetic nanoparticles and their mechanisms on drug release, mechanism diagnosis and therapy.

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. Pharmaceutics 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 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.
