Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials offer multiple exciting opportunities in biomedical applications, promising significant advancements in the development of preventive medicine, medical diagnosis, and therapeutic management. Over recent decades, nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for various drug delivery systems. Their technological advantages include their high stability, capacity for carrying therapeutic agents, tailorability, and versatility to include diverse therapeutic molecules, such as drugs, peptides, vaccines, antibodies, and enzymes, across different administration routes.
In this context, our current Special Issue invites researchers to contribute with original research articles and review articles exploring nanomaterials, with a focus on, but not limited to, recent advances and emerging challenges in the following areas: synthesis/obtention, characterization, structural analysis, and assessment of efficacy and cytotoxicity in 2D and 3D models, as well as investigations of their pharmacokinetics and biodistribution in vivo. We anticipate that these contributions will shed light on novel design strategies, elucidate their advantages and limitations, and uncover diverse medical applications of nanomaterials.

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-anonymized 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.
