Theranostic nanoplatforms for biomedicine

Discover the latest research in this Nanoscale collection

We invite you to discover the latest research from Theranostic nanoplatforms for biomedicine collection, guest edited by Professor Nguyen T. K. Thanh (University College London, UK), Professor Sophie Laurent (University of Mons, Belgium), Professor Sylvie Begin-Colin (University of Strasbourg, France) and Professor Teresa Pellegrino (Italian Institute of Technology, Italy).

For nanomedicine to fill its promise, either direct intratumoral injection or active targeting with affinity ligands to achieve favourable specificity and biodistribution profiles is critical for accurate detection, monitoring and therapeutic efficacy. Such smart approaches, when translated to clinical uses, will have a great impact on the management of cancer and other diseases to improve patient survival and quality of life. However, for further clinical translation of nanoplatforms, a key step is their scale-up.

This special collection in Nanoscale focuses on the design of multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials for theranostics in biomedicine, with a focus on the scaling-up of these nanomaterials for translational studies.
