Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials play a pivotal role in advancing medical diagnostics and biosensor technologies. Their exceptional properties—such as a large surface area, tunable reactivity, and enhanced sensitivity—enable the precise detection of biological markers, offering significant improvements in diagnostic speed, accuracy, and miniaturization.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in the application of nanomaterials for medical testing and biosensing. It aims to cover a broad range of topics, including the synthesis and functionalization of nanomaterials, their integration into sensing platforms, and their performance in detecting biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, glucose, and pathogens. Submissions addressing real-time, point-of-care, or wearable biosensors are particularly encouraged.
Positioned within a growing body of literature on nano-enabled diagnostics, this issue seeks to bridge the gap between fundamental nanoscience and clinical implementation. It will provide insights into challenges like stability, selectivity, and cost-effectiveness, which are key to real-world application.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that explore the intersection of nanotechnology, biomedical testing, and sensor innovation. The goal is to present state-of-the-art advancements that contribute to the development of faster, smarter, and more reliable diagnostic tools.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
