Special Issues on Nanotheranostics
Nanotheranostics is an emerging multidisciplinary term which combines therapy and diagnostics based on nanotechnology. The core of this concept is based on developing multimodality nanoplatform to improve imaging and therapy by targeted delivery across biological barriers in vivo. Nanotheranostics is beneficial to optimize treatment planning, screen appropriate drugs, predict treatment efficacy, and decrease side-effect. It acts as a key part of predictive medicine and personalized medicine, includes a wide range of subjects, such as molecular imaging, biomarker identification and validation, drug delivery and release, and imaging-guided treatment. In recently years, nanotheranostics has been widely acknowledged by many scientists and clinical doctors, and displayed great clinical application potential. The opportunities and challenges of nanotheranostics to overcome serious diseases are attracting more and more researchers to focus on this topic. The Journal of Innovative Optics in Health and Science (JIOHS) calls for manuscripts for the special issue: Nanotheranostics. Welcome in this special issue are regular research articles, regular or mini reviews, case reports, technical reports, and commentaries. Manuscripts will be internationally peer-reviewed. Submissions are encouraged dealing with the following and related topics:

Nanotechnology for molecular imaging

Nanotechnology for targeted therapy

Multimodality nanoplatform

Nanodrug delivery and release

Nanoparticle-based immunotherapy

Identification and validation of biomarkers

Image-guided treatment

Quantificaiton of nanomedicine
