Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Regenerative medicine is an emerging multidisciplinary field involved in biology, engineering, materials science, genetics, and medicine, aiming to replace tissues and restore the function of damaged tissues and organs. Biomaterials have a pivotal role in regenerative medicine by providing a microenvironment for structural support, cell adhesion, connection, and growth required for tissue formation. Various biomaterials are available, including natural and synthetic polymers, hydrogels, bioactive ceramics, and composites; others are under rigorous development for the engineering of living tissues or functional organs. Through the use of biomaterials, novel technologies such as 3D printing and organoid fabrication are being developed to introduce the next era of regenerative medicine. The success of regenerative medicine is, therefore, highly dependent on the use of suitable biomaterials that can support and guide cells during healing and remodeling processes.
In this Special Issue on “Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicine”, we plan to present recent advances in basic and translational research regarding biomaterials in regenerative medicine.
The scope of this Special Issue includes the following subjects:
- the design, synthesis, and formulation of novel biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications;
- cell carrier for cell-based therapies;
- wound healing;
- organoid;
- ECM;
- drug delivery system for regenerative medicine;
- clinical application of biomaterials;
- 3D printing and bioink.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
