Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present Special Issue aims to present new strategies for developing nanostructure-based formulations to enhance their therapeutic use, minimize the instrumental analysis cost for various types of cancers (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, etc.), and aid in their applications as antimicrobial agents.
We aim to encompasses a variety of nanostructure material applications in all areas of science (chemistry, physics, biology, medical, engineering, agriculture, etc.), including the use of quantum dots, nanoparticles, and a range of nanostructures to control various types of cancer, microbes, infectious diseases, drug delivery, and DNA binding, as well as the application of physico, chemico, and biochemical sensors.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
