Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The bioactivity and toxicity of different nanoparticles attract the attention of many researchers due to their significance in biomedicine. According to their activity and toxicity, nanoparticles can be applied in various fields and forms such as films, gels, fibres or foams or in combination with hydrogels, ceramics, metals and polymers. Their unique chemical, mechanical, optical and biological properties enable their use as a safe material in physiological environments. The main role of biomaterials during interaction with biological systems is to evaluate, treat, heal or replace any tissue or organ. Therefore, it is very important to study the properties of nanoparticles themselves as well as the mechanism of their interaction with biological systems.
In this issue, different aspects of nanoparticles acting mainly directed to tumors and microbials will be discussed. The main topics include the following:
- Bioactivities and nanotoxicity of antitumor nanoparticles
- Bioactivities and nanotoxicity of antimicrobial nanoparticles;
- Bioactivities and nanotoxicity of antiviral nanoparticles;
- Mechanisms of interactions between nanoparticles and cells.
The issue will be a valuable resource for a broad readership in this time of epidemy in various subfields of medicine, natural and social sciences. It will be a collection of research and review papers discussing the most recent progress in these areas.

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.
