Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Technologies used to create materials with controlled structures at the nanoscale have made remarkable progress in recent years. This Special Issue solicits a wide range of papers that utilize nanostructures to impart functions to biomedicine and biomaterials. We require papers that design and synthesize drug delivery carriers, diagnostic materials, scaffold materials, etc., based on novel ideas using nanoparticles formed by polymers and inorganic compounds, nanoparticles with anisotropic structures, nanofibers, nanosheets, or nanostructures formed on the surface of materials. Authors are expected to discuss the correlation between nanostructures and physical properties or functions in their papers. Physical properties and functions may include the controlled release of drugs, biodegradability, surface potential, rheology, and material–cell interactions, among other things. The aim of this Special Issue is to collate the latest interdisciplinary studies on nanostructured materials used for biomedicine purposes, as well as to exchange ideas and encourage new lines of research.

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.
