Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After the introduction of radioiodine therapy for thyrotoxicosis and differentiated thyroid cancer in the middle of the last century, radionuclide therapy (RNT) underwent an enormous development exploring innovative ways.
Despite this, RNT faces many challenges and limitations:
- A molecular vector with high affinity and specificity for the tumor target;
- A nuclide, preferable a true theranostic, with the emission and effective half-life fitting with uptake rate and residence in the target;
- The chelator and cages;
- Nanogenerators;
- Tumor cells kinetics and metabolism;
- Cell radiobiology;
- Combined use with chemotherapeutics, biological drugs and EBRT, beta and alpha sequence.
We cordially invite authors in the field to submit original research or review articles pertaining to this important and fast-progressing field of biomedicine.
Dr. Carlo Aprile
Guest Editor
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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
