(This article belongs to the Special Issue Development of Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Therapy and/or Diagnosis)
The design of multifunctional nanoparticles for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes continues to be a subject of tremendous research. Indeed, such nanocarriers associate the unique properties of multifunctional nanoparticles, which can be specifically designed for the site-specific delivery of various molecules, to those of diagnostic and/or therapeutic drugs.
This Special Issue aims to provide some recent advances in the development of those multifunctional nanovectors for diagnostic and/or therapeutic applications.
In this Special Issue, there are research articles focusing on the preparation and characterization of functional nanovectors for site-specific anti-cancer drug delivery [1,2,3] and review articles on the uses of polymeric nanoplatforms for the targeted delivery of imaging and therapeutic molecules [4] and biomedical applications [5] and on recent advances in the design of phthalocyanine loaded polymeric nanoparticles for cancer photodynamic therapy [6].
We think that the results presented in this Special Issue might be useful for researchers working in the field of nanoparticles design for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes.
Lastly, I would like to sincerely thank all the authors who contributed to the success of this Special Issue with respect to the quality of their research and manuscript.
