Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to showcase innovative advances in the design, modeling, validation, and clinical translation of biomedical materials and devices through multiscale and interdisciplinary approaches. We welcome contributions that integrate experimental, computational, and clinical methods to deepen understanding of material–biological interactions, improve device performance, and accelerate translation into clinical practice.
Submissions addressing biomaterial design principles, biocompatibility, and performance assessment across in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models are highly encouraged. Studies built on collaborative frameworks that bring together biology, engineering, materials science, and medicine to address complex healthcare challenges are particularly welcome. Manuscripts may include experimental research, modeling, and clinical validation reports that support reproducibility, scalability, and real-world application of biomedical innovations.
Within the expanding literature on translational biomaterials and biomedical engineering, this Special Issue seeks to connect basic science and applied research. By emphasizing interdisciplinary progress, it aims to promote knowledge sharing across fields, support transparency in methods, and guide the development of next-generation biomaterials and devices to achieve better diagnostic, therapeutic, and regenerative outcomes.

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.
