Biological Evaluation and Biomedical Application of Nanoparticles-Based Formulations

Dear Colleagues,

Nanoparticles-based pharmaceutical dosage forms became one of the major research areas in pharmaceutical research. The choice of lipid nanoparticles as a carrier for siRNA and mRNA in a recent marketed drug and vaccines highlights the advancements in production, characterization, and biological evaluation of nanoparticles for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Uptake, toxicity, passage through a biological barrier, and biodistribution of nanoparticles are usually evaluated using customized protocols and experimental models. Advanced analytical tools could be also associated with the biological models to get more specific information.

This Special Issue will therefore consider some of the recent studies in the field of biological evaluation and applications of nanomedicines. It is open for studies that describe and discuss an original approach, technical advancement, or new models regarding nanoparticles' evaluation and models validation. Reviews discussing this topic are also welcomed.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
