Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging nanotechnologies present many perspectives in the field of regenerative medicine by offering precise control over cellular environments and enhancing tissue repair processes.
The combination of different techniques and materials has been extensively studied regarding the development of innovative scaffolds with significantly enhanced cellular and tissue regenerative properties.
Nanomaterials enable the targeted delivery of drugs, growth factors, and genetic material, thus accelerating healing and reducing side effects. Graphene-based materials, black phosphorus, and transition metal dichalcogenides present a great opportunity to advance the field of tissue engineering; this is due to their exceptional chemical, topographical, and electrical properties. These nanomaterials can be engineered to closely mimic the extracellular matrix, providing an ideal environment for cell attachment, growth, and differentiation. In addition, 2D materials can be functionalized with bioactive molecules, enhancing their ability to guide tissue regeneration and repair.
As such, 2D nanomaterials have been widely utilized for the repair of skin, bone and cartilage tissues, such as in skeletal muscle repair, the regeneration of cardiac muscle, the treatment of brain disease and the regeneration of nerves. They have shown exceptional efficiency in tissue repair and excellent biocompatibility, highlighting their significant potential to be used in clinical applications.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research-based articles and reviews that describe the fundamentals, progress, applications and challenges associated with the use of nanotechnology and 2D materials for regenerative medicine.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
