Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of nonotechnology has aroused interest to improve the effectiveness of therapies for a variety of diseases difficult to treat in a conventional way. In this context, nanostructured materials have been proposed as suitable approach employed in the drug delivery to cross physiological barriers, thus increasing bioavailability, biodistribution, and accumulation of therapeutics preferentially in the target diseased area, acting as stability enhancers. Furthermore it is interesting their increasing application in various biomedical fields such as tissue engineering, and medical diagnosis. Starting from these evidences, this Special Issue aims to highlight the latest achievements and current progresses useful to implement the scientific knowledge in the field of targeted drug delivery. For this purpose, we encourage scientists from worldwide to present their work as scientific contribution or review articles. We will really appreciate your valuable contributions and it will be a pleasure to collect them.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
