Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring advanced nanoparticles for drug delivery and cancer therapy, with an emphasis on the construction of functional nanomaterials, innovative drug delivery systems, gene delivery mechanisms, and cutting-edge cancer treatment strategies. It aims to bridge the gap between fundamental nanomaterial research and clinical application by highlighting breakthroughs in nanoparticle synthesis, surface modification, and multifunctional system integration. This Special Issue encourages studies on stimuli-responsive and targeted nanoparticles that can selectively deliver therapeutic agents or genetic material to tumor sites while minimizing systemic toxicity. It further emphasizes the importance of understanding the biological interactions and in vivo behavior of these nanoparticles, addressing both therapeutic efficacy and safety. By consolidating current advances and identifying existing challenges, this Special Issue not only provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in nanomedicine but also outlines future research directions to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among chemists, materials scientists, biologists, and clinicians, ultimately advancing precision oncology and translational 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 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.
