Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multifunctional biopharmaceuticals have emerged as a pivotal advancement in the realm of disease treatment, representing a paradigm-shift in therapeutic strategies. These sophisticated agents are designed to integrate multiple functional modalities, leveraging principles from molecular biology, materials science, and pharmacology. Their multifunctionality often encompasses targeted delivery, enhanced bioavailability, and the ability to modulate disease-related biological processes. Moreover, they can respond to endogenous stimuli such as pH, temperature, or the presence of disease-specific biomolecules, enabling the controlled release of therapeutic payloads at the site of action. The continuous evolution of multifunctional biopharmaceuticals holds great promise for personalized medicine, as they can be tailored to the genetic profiles and disease characteristics of individual patients, potentially revolutionizing the way diseases are diagnosed and treated in the future.
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research and reviews on the development and application of multifunctional biopharmaceuticals, with a focus on innovative strategies to enhance their functionality, adaptability, and clinical utility. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multifunctional biopharmaceuticals for drug delivery;
- Composite biopharmaceuticals for wound healing acceleration;
- Bioactive small-molecule drugs for disease treatment;
- Smart biopharmaceuticals for integrated disease diagnosis;
- Hybrid biopharmaceuticals for tissue regeneration.

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. Molecules 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 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.
