Biomaterials in Medical Diagnosis and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid technological and medical advances of our times have significantly improved the field of functional biomaterials, offering new applications and uses in various domains. There is an increasing interest in developing newer, safer, more efficient, and more reliable implants for medical applications. Furthermore, various biomaterials are continuously developed for a wide range of medical use, including in vitro and in vivo diagnosis, the modulation of the host response or microenvironment, and multiple therapeutic applications. However, any biomaterial must be thoroughly investigated and tested before approval for human use.

This Special Issue will host papers related to recent developments in the medical use of biomaterials, and it will include but not be limited to biocompatibility; advances in biomedical devices; natural materials with medical applications; compounds used in medical imaging; and the immune response to biomaterials.

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.
