Nanotheranostics, the sister journal of Theranostics, is a multidisciplinary and fully open access journal. Nanotheranostics publishes innovative and original basic, translational and clinical research reflecting the fields of nanomedicine, nanoimaging, drug and gene delivery, nanoelectronic biosensors, and related areas. 

Regular features include high quality research articles, reviews or mini-reviews, rapid communication of preliminary data on innovative research, editorials, and letters to the editor. Educational articles on basic sciences, fundamental aspects and controversy related to pre-clinical and clinical studies or ethical issues of nanomedicine are also welcome. Timely reviews that provide updates on current applications and issues in nanomedicine and translational aspects of nanotheranostics and other topics are particularly welcome and will be given high priority.

Nanotheranostics employs a rigorous peer-review system, but also strives for rapid review turnaround times and is based on the same streamlined submission platform as Theranostics.

Distinct Internalization, Acoustic Behavior and Stress Responses to Nanobubbles in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal cancers, characterized by an extremely low survival rate once diagnosed. Over 90% of cases harbor activating KRAS mutations, which are associated with metabolic reprogramming and altered endocytic activity. New treatment modalities are urgently needed. Phospholipid-shelled, gas-filled nanobubbles (NBs) are promising ultrasound (US) contrast agents and drug delivery vehicles, with potential ...
