Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in nanobiotechnology have explored the immense potential of new nano-based biomaterials for different biomedical and environmental applications. The application of different types of inorganic and organic nanomaterials that are synthesized and form different processes (chemical, physical, biological) has spread to many scientific fields such as cancer biology, infection biology, and microbiology.
Researchers are trying to explore the biomedical usage of nanomaterials by investigating their role in drug delivery to solve the riddles of biomedical sciences in different diseases and the inhibition of microbial infections. However, detailed mechanistic investigations regarding nanobiocompatibility and nano–bio interactions are important to understand the nitty gritty of nanomaterial-based medicine fo their translation to further applications.
Moreover, a detailed understanding of the physical, biochemical, and biological properties of newly synthesized nanomaterials is required for the desired fabrication to implicate them for diagnosis and the treatment of different diseases through different modes of drug delivery. These properties can be proved as decisive factors to determine the role of nanomaterials in the cellular and molecular physiology of biological entities.
This Special Issue calls for a range of studies in the field of nanobiotechnology that are poised to carry out mechanistic research on nanomaterial applications in the lab and to analyze clinical aspects through basic and translation explorations in the field of drug delivery. The information will be beneficial for discovering new findings in the field of nanomaterial science for biotechnology applications, especially with regard to drug delivery for healthcare.
We invite manuscripts that entail a wide range of issues and concerns regarding nanomaterial properties, their scale in the lab, and translation applications including, but not limited to:
- Newly synthesized functional nanobiomaterials for biomedical applications.
- Mechanistic cellular and molecular investigations of nano–bio interactions for drug delivery applications.
- Clinical and translational nanobiomaterials for diagnosis and treatment.
- Infection-resisting nanobiomaterials.
We very much look forward to your valuable contribution.
