Advanced nanomaterials and nanotechnologies have been the key driving force of modern medical diagnosis and treatment. Nowadays, with the growing attention on personal health care, much more emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and treatment of early disease. Fortunately, with the development of advanced nanomaterials, the growing demand for biotechnology presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The unique physical/chemical properties of nanomaterials could be utilized for the biological system. Some interesting properties of nanomaterials or nanostructures are helpful for the breakout of the current ways and levels of detection, imaging, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The detection range, sensitivity, measurement accuracy, stability, etc. are vital for disease diagnosis, meanwhile, the efficacy and toxic side effects should be considered for disease treatment.
Rational design for advanced nanostructures or nanomaterials is a promising solution for developing novel nanobiotechnologies for advanced applications. It aims to provide the readers with advances in the fundamental understanding of the construction of bio-derived materials or biotechnologies. Moreover, this Topic will emphasize recent advances in the construction of novel biomimetic materials in the field of biosensors and microarrays, drug delivery, targeted therapy, and multi-disciplinary therapy for the treatment of diseases because of the continuous need to provide personalized therapy and to improve the quality of life. Such Topic would create a new generation of biotechnology with unprecedented performance or unique functions to break the boundaries of traditional technologies.
The Research Topic “Advanced Nanomaterials for Bio-derived Diagnostics and Therapy” seeks papers on novel bio-engineering and biotechnology based on advanced functional nanomaterials or nano/micro-structures. Authors are invited to submit articles focused on biosensors or micro-arrays for disease diagnosis, including the aspects of trace detection, selective enhancement, fast diagnosis, bio-imaging, etc., as well as novel nanomaterials-based disease therapy strategies. Areas to be covered in this Research Topic may include, but are not limited to:
• Novel biomaterials or biotechnologies for bio-sensors
• Designing of biomimetic materials and nano/micro-structures
• Stimuli-responsive materials for drug delivery
The Article Collection will accept original articles, reviews, mini reviews, and perspectives.
