Editorial: Special issue on advances in nanomedicine

Abstract

Abstract Nanomaterials are being increasingly used to develop new methods of disease diagnosis and treatment, thereby providing novel paradigms to break through the current limitations of medicine. However, there is still a long way toward the complete revolution for nanomedicine in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. As nanoparticles are highly complex products and difficult to characterize, there are still many challenges. This special issue on Advances in Nanomedicine includes a series of topical reviews and original research articles that highlight the recent advances in diagnosis and therapy of nanomaterials.
