About this Research Topic
Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing field which incorporates a wide range of disciplines within it. The applications of nanotechnology are gaining overwhelming response in biology due to its ability to avoid complications that are otherwise associated with conventional methods. In the coming years, the developments in this field are expected to flourish and lead to several lifesaving medical technologies and treatment methods. Taking advantage of their physical, chemical and biological features, novel nanomaterials have been designed to target specific features of different diseases for the development of preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies. In recent years, the FDA has been approving an increasing number of nanomedical applications in clinic against some diseases including cancer, arteriosclerosis, fungal/protozoal/virus/bacterial infection, and rheumatoid arthritis. Nanomedicine and biomedical nanomaterials are exciting and growing areas of research with great potential against the threat posed by various diseases.
The aim of this Research Topic is to describe the most recent nanotechnology advances in the field of nanomedicine with biomedical imaging and therapy. We welcome submissions of Original Research, Review, Mini-Review articles focusing on but not limited to the following subtopics:
• Nanomaterial-assisted drug delivery strategies
• Nanovaccines
• Nanoparticles for targeting tumor imaging
• Immunogenic cell death and nanotechnology
• Triggering immune system with nanoparticles
• Theranostic nanomaterials
• Clinical trials using nanoparticles
• Nanomaterials for biosensing and imaging
