Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tissue engineering is a rapidly advancing field in regenerative medicine, which aims to develop new solutions to replace lost or damaged tissues. Advanced biomaterials—including nanomaterials, composites, scaffolds, hydrogels, and membranes—have gained significant attention for their potential to restore, maintain, or enhance tissue function. Emerging strategies increasingly combine biomaterials with bioactive molecules, cells, and fabrication technologies (3D printing and bioreactors) to improve cell–material interactions and promote tissue growth.
This Special Issue focuses on recent progress in the design, characterization, and application of biomaterials for tissue engineering with an emphasis on understanding their biological performance, especially at the molecular level. We welcome the submission of original research articles and comprehensive reviews addressing novel fabrication techniques, functionalization strategies, and relevant in vitro or in vivo models.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
