Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, the rapid evolution of biomaterials has transformed precision medicine by enabling early diagnosis and the development of personalized therapies. Thanks to recent cutting-edge advancements in biomaterials for disease diagnosis and treatment, both natural and synthetic biomaterials have garnered significant attention for their applications in medical sciences, aiming to improve patient outcomes and alleviate healthcare burdens. Therefore, this Special Issue highlights advancements in biomaterials for disease diagnosis and therapy, with a particular emphasis on molecular innovations that enhance accuracy, efficiency, and clinical applicability.
We invite original research and reviews on innovative biomaterial designs, including hydrogels, scaffolds, nanoparticles, and bioengineered molecules, for diagnostic applications such as biosensors, organ-on-a-chip, and imaging agents, as well as therapeutic applications, including drug delivery systems, tissue engineering (3D and 4D printing), and immunotherapy. The focus will be on biocompatibility, molecular mechanisms, and translational potential to address unmet clinical needs in conditions such as wound healing, cancer, and neurological disorders.
Dr. Md Tipu Sultan

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 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.
