Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Information about tissue morphology and chemical content is vital for the development and control of the efficiency of new methods for medical diagnostics and therapy, including tissue topical drug delivery. The latter has the option of the introduction of special multi-purpose agents, which can also improve tissue visualization and enhance the specificity of tissue state evaluation.
Imaging technologies aid in topical drug delivery and bio-tissue therapy, by helping find new pharmacological targets and the assessment of new potential drug candidates and treatment responses. In recent years, laser imaging has become a promising technique to enhance the delivery of both small- and large-molecule drugs, tissue processing, intra-tissue drug screening, and phototherapy, which are applicable to many areas of biomedical research. The most promising laser molecular imaging modalities are Raman spectroscopy and microscopy, multi-photon microscopy, and fluorescent lifetime microscopy. They allow studying active substances metabolism in tissues, which is useful for new drug development, tissue topical delivery and therapy, and would be powerful diagnostic tools for tissue engineering and drug delivery.
We invite researchers from the medical applied sciences, pharmaceutical industry, or academia to submit original research articles, review articles. This Special Issue will provide researchers with an up-to-date resource on how laser molecular imaging can help in the development and control of the efficiency of new methods for medical diagnostics and phototherapy.

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.
