Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lipid-based nanomaterials have emerged as versatile platforms with significant potential in drug delivery, imaging, diagnostics, and beyond. Their biocompatibility, tunable properties, and ability to encapsulate a wide range of molecules make them highly attractive for innovative solutions to scientific challenges.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and future directions in lipid-based functional nanomaterials. We encourage submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- Novel synthesis and formulation strategies for lipid-based nanomaterials;
- Structure–function relationships and physicochemical characterization;
- Targeted drug delivery and controlled release systems;
- Imaging and diagnostic applications of lipid-based nanomaterials;
- Theranostic approaches combining diagnostics and therapy;
- Regulation of immune responses and vaccine development;
- Overcoming biological barriers for enhanced therapeutic efficacy;
- Safety and biocompatibility considerations;
- Clinical translation and future perspectives.
Note: Pure clinical or model studies are not suitable for IJMS, but clinical or model submissions that include biomolecular experiments are welcomed.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
