Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials currently have enormous importance in biomedicine, including biomedical devices, tissue engineering implants, drug delivery systems, and antibacterial material. Biomaterial–cell and biomaterial–tissue interactions in implant materials represent key issues to address in both initial and long-term implant integration. An understanding of these interactions will guide structural design and surface modification in biomaterials. With this Special Issue, we hope to inspire researchers and academics to explore the interactions between biomaterials and various biological systems and contribute to the design, development, application, and evaluation of biomaterials.
For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Immune response to implants;
- Soft tissue management around implants;
- Cell incorporation in three-dimensional scaffolds;
- Interactions between nanomaterials and cells and tissues;
- Bacteria–surface interactions.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
