Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials have emerged as a potentially powerful paradigm in clinical medicine, owing to their unique physicochemical properties such as topographical cues, charges, and so on. Numerous efforts have been made to explore processing methods to tailored nanomaterials for medical applications, including regenerative medicine, therapeutic delivery, and additive manufacturing. Intriguingly, many studies have identified the existence of bio–nano interaction, which plays important roles in biological procedures. Furthermore, biomaterials with diverse physical and/or chemical characteristics induce different biological effects, but their detailed mechanisms remain unclear.
The translational application of biomaterials for clinical medicine is still expanding. The molecular mechanisms and biological procedures employing biomaterials in medical applications include technologies for processing biomaterials; techniques for characterizing physiochemical properties and analyzing bio–nano interaction, biological behaviors, and mechanisms; and indications for medical applications, among others.
The Special Issue of the Journal of Functional Biomaterials, titled “Molecular mechanisms and biological procedures of biomaterials in medical applications (2nd Edition)”, aims to collect articles exploring biological procedures induced by biomaterials, interactions between biomaterials and biological cells, and medical applications of biomaterials, among others.

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.
