Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as a versatile and powerful tool in the field of biomedicine, offering innovative solutions for diagnosis, therapy, and drug delivery. Their unique physicochemical properties, including size, shape, surface charge, and functionalization potential, enable MNPs to interact with biological systems in ways that can be finely tuned for specific applications. From targeted drug delivery systems to diagnostic imaging and therapeutic agents, MNPs are at the forefront of cutting-edge biomedical research.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements and applications of metal nanoparticles in the biomedical field. We welcome submissions that explore the synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of MNPs, as well as their applications in such areas as cancer therapy, drug delivery, antimicrobial treatments, inflammatory disease, dental applications, neuroscience, and regenerative medicine. The goal is to showcase the state-of-the-art research and to foster a deeper understanding of how MNPs can be harnessed for innovative biomedical solutions.
We invite original research articles and reviews that contribute to the growing body of knowledge on metal nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Submissions focusing on interdisciplinary approaches that bridge materials science, nanotechnology, and medicine are particularly encouraged.

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.
