On behalf of Prof. Jingkang Wang, the Editor-in-Chief of Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering (FCSE) and the Editorial Office, we would like to invite you to submit a manuscript for the Special Issue, focused on emerging design strategies and applications of nanomaterials in nanomedicine. 

Nanomedicine, which uses nanoscience and technology principles and methods to apply nanoscale or nanostructured materials to the medical field, has developed vigorously in the past few decades. With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, nanomedicine and combination therapy were widely used in diagnosis, treatment, and imaging.

For this special issue of FCSE, we invite scientists to submit their work in one of the following areas:
? Nanomaterials

* Strategies for the design and synthesis of multifunctional nanomaterials in nanomedicine, including inorganic, organic, dendrimer to natural or biopolymer materials
* Advanced nanocarriers for drugs, antibody, vaccine, peptides, and protein delivery
* The hazards and risks associated with nanomaterials

? Diagnostics and therapy 

* Bioimaging
* Cancer therapy
* Wound healing and tissue regeneration
* Autoimmunity
* Vascular related diseases
* Nervous related diseases

? Nanodevice in nanomedicine

* Nanosensor
* Nanomotor
* Nanostructured scaffolds in the cell, tissue, and organ engineering
* Wearable medical devices

Submission Deadline: March 1, 2021.

All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed, following standard practices of FCSE. Please specify that your submission will be included in the special issue of "SI: Nanomedicine: principles, properties and applications" in the Cover letter, and be sure to select one of Zhanfeng Cui/ Huiyu Liu/ Huan Meng/ Guohua Jia as “Author Recommended Editors”.
