Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials play a crucial role in bone and tissue regeneration by providing structural support and biological cues to facilitate repair and functional recovery. However, challenges such as poor integration with host tissues, insufficient bioactivity, and suboptimal mechanical properties limit their therapeutic efficacy. Recent advancements in biomaterial design have led to the development of innovative strategies, including bioactive scaffolds, nanocomposite materials, 3D-printed constructs, and cell-laden hydrogels. These cutting-edge approaches aim to enhance osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling, ultimately improving regeneration outcomes. Furthermore, the integration of smart biomaterials with controlled drug release, gene therapy, and immunomodulation opens new avenues for more effective and personalized regenerative treatments.
This Special Issue will focus on the latest breakthroughs in biomaterials for bone and tissue regeneration, highlighting novel materials, fabrication techniques, and regenerative strategies. We invite distinguished researchers to contribute their original research, communications, and review articles, covering topics such as bioinspired materials, advanced scaffold design, and emerging therapeutic approaches. Through this collection, we aim to promote the development of next-generation biomaterials that can revolutionize regenerative medicine and clinical applications.

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.
