Applications of Biomaterials in Medicine and Healthcare

Dear Colleagues,

Biomaterials have revolutionized medicine and healthcare, being the basis for advancements in diagnostics, treatment, and patient care. These materials, engineered to interact with biological systems, play a critical role in repairing, replacing, and enhancing biological functions. From orthopedic implants and cardiovascular stents to drug delivery systems and tissue engineering scaffolds, biomaterials fill the gap between biology and technology, enabling innovative solutions for complex medical challenges.

Their versatility arises from a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, tailored to meet specific biological and mechanical requirements. Emerging fields, such as regenerative medicine and nanomedicine, are further expanding the horizons of biomaterials, promising personalized therapies and improved patient outcomes.

This Special Issue explores the multifaceted applications of biomaterials, highlighting their impact on modern healthcare and their potential to shape the future of medicine.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
