Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to their ability to deliver various molecules (RNAs, drugs, proteins, and genes) in a targeted manner, nanomaterials are promising candidates for medical therapy. Coating can improve the efficiency with which nanocarriers are taken up by cells, their targeted delivery, and their biocompatibility.
This anniversary topic addresses approaches that enhance the stability, cellular uptake, delivery, targeting, tracing/imaging ability, and biocompatibility of nanocarriers by modifying their surfaces. Submissions are not limited to typical applications such as cancer treatment, tissue regeneration and bone formation, and may also address safety issues. Researchers from around the world are invited to submit original articles, reviews, commentaries and case studies to provide further insight into this exciting field of research.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
