Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoemulsions represent a promising class of colloidal carriers with broad potential in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Their nanoscale droplet size, high kinetic stability, and tunable interfacial properties enable the solubilization of poorly water-soluble compounds, protect sensitive bioactives from degradation, and provide opportunities for controlled and targeted delivery. Furthermore, their versatility across oral, parenteral, transdermal, ocular, nasal, and pulmonary routes underscores their relevance in translational medicine.
This Special Issue aims to showcase recent advances and future perspectives in the design, characterization, and application of nanoemulsions within pharmaceutical and biomedical research. We particularly welcome contributions that address innovative formulation strategies (high-energy and low-energy methods), mechanistic insights into stability and destabilization phenomena, surface functionalization for targeted delivery, and evaluation of biocompatibility, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and therapeutic outcomes in preclinical or clinical models. Studies focused on cutting-edge therapeutic applications such as oncology, vaccination, antimicrobial therapy, gene delivery, and theranostics are especially encouraged. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome.
This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive platform for disseminating advances in nanoemulsion science and technology, fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue, and accelerating the translation of these promising systems into clinical and industrial practice.

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.
