Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A contrast agent is a substance used to increase the contrast of structures or fluids within the body in medical imaging.
Contributions are welcome concerning the following various topics regarding their use in treatment or application, supported by various molecular biology aspects/approaches:
- TUCAs (Theranostic Ultrasound Contrast Agents) combined with nanomaterials;
- The activation of TUCAs against pathological cells;
- TUCA-dependent immune activation against a disease;
- The various diseases that can be treated by TUCAs, (e.g., cancer, bacterial infections, repair of diseased heart blood vessels, Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease);
For this Special Issue, we welcome your contributions in the form of original research and review articles covering any molecular aspect of TUCAs.
Prof. Dr. Edouard Alphandery
Guest Editor
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.
