Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomedicine—the booming applications of various nanostructures concerning biomedical applications—has become a promising alternative with significant challenges. Nonetheless, it depends on multiple factors to reach the clinical trial. One such aspect is biocompatibility, which is investigated quite often by functionalizing with versatile compounds to perform its function by majorly minimizing the toxic effect and without eliciting any undesirable effects in specific applications. More than developing and designing a novel nanostructure, the main concern among investigators leads to testing and evaluating biocompatibility and biodegradability. These factors are also considered to be essential criteria which need to be addressed, and it is urgent to define the specific administration behavior for nanotherapies and diagnosis.
This Special Issue on “Biocompatible nanostructures: Research, Development and Applications” aims to discuss state-of-the-art research on biocompatible nanostructures and biomedicine as well as developments in synthesis, biofunctionalization, properties, and biomedical applications. This extends to recent highlights in our comprehension of biocompatible nanostructures and their suitability for therapeutics, diagnoses, sensing, and implant applications, including nanobioanalysis in vitro and nanotoxicity.
Contributions such as full papers, communications, and reviews are welcome, focusing on new advances and strategies with unlimited configurations of biocompatible nanostructures.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
