Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to encompass new challenges in targeted drug delivery due to the spread of inflammatory-based diseased conditions. This Special Issue will publish scientific contributions on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Novel drug delivery approaches;
- Nanotechnology approaches;
- Targeted biomaterial-based strategies;
- Targeted drug delivery and comorbidity;
- Vaccines delivery;
- Drug delivery challenges (and limitations).
The outbreak of several inflammatory-based diseases has led to millions of deaths and intensive care units collapsing, especially in cases of comorbidity, spread all over the world. An impressive increase in drug delivery options, vaccines, and nanotechnology innovation has been witnessed in recent years, with the challenging need to tailor these for effective biomedical responses.
Novel key mechanisms have been identified; as a consequence, brilliant new strategies are being developed.
Thus, this Special Issue of Biomedicines will include both original research papers and reviews focused on biomaterials, drug delivery strategies, nanotechnology and applied nanosciences-targeted drug delivery in inflammatory diseases. We are positive that the contributions to the present issue will be able to effectively support the research on targeted drug delivery approaches, from the nano- to the macroscale.

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.
