Theranostics has recently attracted a lot of attention for the treatment of cancer and inflammation, as it combines diagnosis and therapy in one system. Nanomaterials have been used in preclinical studies and clinical trials for the diagnosis of various diseases and/or the delivery of various drugs. However, some of these nanomaterials lack efficient accumulation and penetration in target lesions, which hinders their future clinical applications. Novel strategies such as engineering the extracellular matrix, modifying the surface of nanomaterials, and optimizing the physicochemical properties of nanocarriers have been proposed to ameliorate these problems. It is expected that we will soon develop effective and targeted theranostic systems for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and inflammation using novel theranostic nanomaterials.
The goal of this Research Topic is to describe the advanced biomedical nanomaterials for the diagnosis and therapy of various diseases. We welcome submissions of Original Research, Reviews, Mini-reviews, and Clinical Trial articles focused on, but not limited to, the following subtopics.
- Multifunctional nanoparticles for diagnosis and therapy.
- Cell membranes bionic nanoparticles
- Theranostic nanomedicine
- Nanomaterials for cancer immunotherapy
- Extracellular vesicles or exosomes
- Nanomaterials for tumor penetration and drug delivery
- Engineered nanoplatforms for cancer targeting
- Reactive oxygen species-based therapy
