Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in plant-derived nanomaterials (PDNM) and new advanced materials based on herbs.

Plant-derived nanomaterials (PDNM) have gained significant attention recently due to their potential pharmacological effects. Other new advanced materials based on herbs also play an important role in our lives. Advanced scaffolds combine the advantages of nanoparticles with herbal preparation offering new perspectives on current therapeutic strategies for severe diseases or antimicrobial resistance.

Modern analytic techniques are commonly used to demonstrate the development of such scaffolds. In vitro or in vivo efficacity assessments are employed to estimate their biological effects.

We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue, which will focus on, but need not be limited to, any of the topics outlined above.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
