Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials, such as nanoparticles, nanorods, nanoshells, dendrimers, and nanofibers, exhibit distinct physical, chemical, and biological characteristics as a result of their very small size. These characteristics include a significant ratio of surface area to volume, adjustable optical and electrical properties, and the capability to engage with biological molecules on a molecular scale. Nanomaterials possess certain characteristics that make them very appropriate for a wide range of applications in the field of molecular biology. Nanomaterials have become a revolutionary category of materials because of their distinct characteristics and adaptable uses. Nanomaterials have significant potential to greatly transform diagnostics, treatments, and basic biological research in the field of molecular biology. The aim of this Special Issue is to investigate the many applications of nanomaterials in the field of molecular biology, with a particular focus on their existing usage, prospective advantages, toxicology to human beings, animals, and the environment, as well as future possibilities.

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.
