Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Innovations in biomedical research continue to drive translational breakthroughs across a wide spectrum of human diseases. Over the past decades, remarkable progress has been made in areas such as nanoparticle-mediated delivery systems that enable precision medicine, advanced proteomic and lipidomic profiling techniques that uncover the molecular basis of diseases, and cutting-edge tools designed to enhance stem cell function in aging and degenerative conditions. In parallel with these advancements, the development of novel therapeutic strategies, including targeted delivery of recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, natural products, and engineered stem cells, has opened new frontiers for combating human diseases.

In this Special Issue, “Advancing Innovations in Biomedical Research for Translational Applications”, we aim to highlight multidisciplinary approaches at the forefront of biomedical innovation that are paving the way toward impactful therapeutic applications. We invite original research articles and comprehensive reviews that align with the following key themes:

  • Nanoparticle-based drug delivery for precision medicine;
  • Integrative bioengineering approaches to rejuvenate stem cell function;
  • Proteomic and lipidomic profiling for disease mechanism discovery;
  • Novel therapeutic strategies in regenerative medicine;
  • Biologic drug development from discovery to IND submission.

We particularly encourage contributions from early-career investigators and emerging leaders in translational biomedical research. Your participation will help to shape this exciting Special Issue and inspire future directions in the field.

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. Biomolecules 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.
