Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nano-based materials are transforming the field of biomedicine by offering unique properties such as high surface area, tunable functionality, and excellent biocompatibility. These characteristics enable a wide range of applications, including drug delivery, diagnostics, tissue engineering, and cancer therapy. Recent advancements have focused on improving the functionality, stability, and bioactivity of nanomaterials—particularly nanoparticles—for targeted drug delivery, high-resolution bioimaging, and tissue regeneration. Notable developments include enhanced drug bioavailability, ultra-sensitive diagnostic platforms, and more efficient cancer therapies through nanoparticle-mediated delivery systems.
The future of nano-based materials in biomedicine is highly promising, with growing opportunities in personalized medicine, stimuli-responsive (smart) nanomaterials, and bioactive scaffolds for regenerative medicine. In addition, integrating artificial intelligence and data-driven design is expected to accelerate the development of intelligent, multifunctional nanosystems with superior precision and safety.
This Special Issue invites original research articles and comprehensive reviews focusing on innovative applications of nanomaterials in healthcare—covering novel nano-synthesis strategies, advanced drug delivery systems, bioimaging technologies, biosensing tools, and tissue engineering approaches that push the boundaries of next-generation nanomedicine.

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.
