Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, several nanomaterials have appeared as valuable tools for clinical applications in the areas of drug delivery, diagnosis, bioimaging, and biosensing. Among them, carbon-based nanomaterials have gained importance in biomedicine with their unique physio-chemical properties, excellent optical properties, and high mechanical strength. These nanomaterials not only allow the diagnosis and detection at the molecular scale, but also provide specificity and sensitivity in drug delivery and bioimaging. I am pleased to invite you to submit articles discussing the use of carbon-based nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene oxide, carbon quantum dots, nanodiamond, etc.) alone, or the combination of them with functionalized molecules (drugs, natural compounds, biomolecules, polymers, metal nanoparticles, etc.), for application in drug delivery, as a sensing material and in theranostics. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Carbon nanomaterials;
- Drug delivery;
- Bioimaging;
- Biosensing;
- Cancer therapy.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Journal of Nanotheranostics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
