Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tissue engineering is the design of advanced biomaterials that promote tissue regeneration while providing essential mechanical support and biological cues. A deep understanding of tissue growth mechanisms and cell–material interactions is fundamental to this endeavor. Recent advances in manufacturing and biofabrication technologies now enable precise control over material architecture and functionality, allowing the development of tailored solutions for specific clinical needs.
Advanced biomaterials play a pivotal role in the regeneration and repair of damaged tissues and organs. Increasingly, these materials are being integrated with diagnostic and sensing technologies, enabling real-time monitoring and adaptive therapeutic responses. For instance, biointegrated sensors and imaging functionalities can allow materials to detect environmental changes and respond dynamically, thereby enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.
This Special Issue highlights recent breakthroughs in biomaterials and fabrication strategies for regenerative medicine. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel fabrication technologies.
- Advanced design principles and functional features of engineered constructs.
- Development of innovative and multifunctional biomaterials.
- Stimuli-responsive systems for controlled drug delivery.
- Self-assembling and self-healing materials for biomedical applications.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, short communications, and perspectives that advance the state-of-the-art and provide insight into future directions in regenerative 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. 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.
