Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Regenerative medicine is a field that aims to enhance the body's natural healing abilities using advanced medical technologies, and tissue engineering is at the core of this field, which relies heavily on biomaterials with transformative potential. These biocompatible substances not only provide a structural foundation for engineered tissues, but also guide cellular responses, deliver therapeutic agents, and assimilate with host tissues. Recent advancements have enabled the successful regeneration of complex structures like vasculature, which previously relied on evolving biomaterial properties. This Special Issue explores the intricate relationship between tissue regeneration and biomaterials, discussing advancements in both hard and soft tissue reconstruction, novel scaffold designs, and bioactive compound integration. The use of biomaterials has significantly expanded the horizons of regenerative medicine, providing new avenues for research and development. I look forward to your participation in this Special Issue, as we work towards uncovering the full potential of biomaterials in regenerative medicine.
Dr. Carlos Fernando Mourão
Guest Editor
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.
