Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue wishes to improve our knowledge of bioactive nanomaterials. Numerous problems arise during the treatment of various diseases; therefore, the application of bioactive materials requires further development. Specific knowledge of the interaction of bioactive nanomaterials and cells, tissues in vivo, proteins, bacteria, viruses and other important biomolecules is still missing. Application of certain nanoparticles or bioactive surfaces can trigger whole sequences of human biomolecules with unpredictable outcomes for patients. This issue will be focused on a multidisciplinary approach to the topic of bioactive materials.
In this Special Issue, we aim to discuss the physical, chemical and biomedical aspects of bioactive nanoparticles and surfaces acting mainly against tumors, microbes, viruses as well as implants. The main topics include the following:
- The development of antitumor bioactive nanoparticles;
- The development of antimicrobial bioactive nanoparticles;
- The development of antiviral bioactive nanoparticles;
- The mechanisms of interactions between bioactive surfaces and implants/catheters.
This Special Issue will focus on research and review papers discussing the most recent progress in subfields of medicine and natural and social sciences. I hope that it will be a valuable resource for a broad audience in these fields.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Pharmaceutics 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 2900 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.
