Nanomaterials for Tissue Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

The present Special Issue highlights the current state and future prospects of the new generation of multifunctional bio-nanomaterials, based on organic and inorganic nanostructures and different natural or synthetic biopolymers, for tissue engineering applications. The impact of nanotechnology has helped to improve the efficacy of available therapeutics with the possibility to control specific cell functions by modulating the material properties. Nanotechnology enables the development of new systems that mimic the complex, hierarchical structure of the native tissue. The confluence of nanotechnology and biology can address several biomedical problems, and can revolutionize the field of health and medicine.

The Special Issue is focused on nanomaterial synthesis, development, and characterization, with specific attention on the correlation between material properties and stem cell interaction. In particular contributions focused on polymeric nanocomposites, nanotopography, and nanoparticles will be mainly considered, promising an exciting future at the interface of chemistry, biology, and material science.

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.
