Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Nanomedicine, integrating nanotechnology, biology and medicine, has emerged for providing better disease treatments and more precise diagnosis. In the recent 20 years, various nanomedicines have been developed by engineering nanomaterials to deliver therapeutic/imaging agents such as drugs, proteins, peptides, imaging probes and photosensitizers to targeted tissues and cells. Several innovative therapeutic strategies, such as personalized nanomedicine, imaging-guided nanomedicine, and combination therapies (photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy) are making remarkable progress, achieving the goals of early diagnosis and improving treatment efficiency. So far, >20 nanomedicines have been approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used in the clinic, and more are in clinical trials, bringing about the revolution of conventional medicine.
As such, Biomedicines is organizing a Special Issue to highlight the latest research and progresses in the field of nanomedicine for disease early detection, treatment, and treatment monitoring. Therefore, it is our pleasure to invite you to submit high quality, original research articles and review papers in this field. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Personalized nanomedicines for disease treatment;
- Nanoprobes in early diagnosis and on-time disease monitoring;
- Combination nanomedicines for disease treatment, including chemo-/geno-/immuno-/radio-/photodynamic/photothermal/sonodynamic therapy;
- Toxicity, physiological and physiochemical metabolism of nanomedicines;
- Engineering nanoparticles for biosensing and bioimaging;
- Nanomedicines for image-guided 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. 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.
