Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomacromolecules and biobased polymers encompass a diverse range of large molecular substances found in biological organisms, including nucleic acids (polynucleotides), proteins (polypeptides), carbohydrates (glucans or polysaccharides) and lipids. These substances have attracted significant attention in the biopharmaceutical field due to their natural properties such as high biocompatibility, biodegradability, low immunogenicity and efficient targeting capabilities. Moreover, as environmentally friendly materials, biomacromolecules and biobased polymers are easily degradable and renewable, offering potential solutions to global energy depletion issues. Despite their promising properties, challenges exist in replacing traditional polymers with these substances for advanced materials, including issues with stability, high extraction costs and limited processability. Efforts in optimized design synthesis aim to enhance the stability and delivery capacity of these biological materials, making them more accessible and cost-effective. This research is expanding their applications across diverse fields such as biopharmaceuticals, tissue engineering, biosensors, environmental protection, bioinformatics, bioengineering and materials science, representing a current research frontier.
We invite contributions to this focused Special Issue and encourage you to share this information with colleagues and peers who may be interested in this topic.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
