Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of nanotechnology is rapidly developing to generate novel solutions for challenges in biomedicine. Smart nanomaterials can be wirelessly activated to perform predetermined tasks in confined spaces and offer unprecedent approaches to therapeutics and diagnostics. Combined with active biomaterials, intelligent material systems have been used to release drugs in a targeted manner, perform in vivo sensing, and kill cancer cells. These pioneering biomedical applications of smart nanomaterials suggest that the field will continue to develop however there are challenges to be overcome for seamless in vivo integration.
In this special issue, we would like to highlight the exciting developments in the field and draw attention to challenges ahead.
Dr. Berna Özkale Edelmann

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.
