Nanostructured Biomaterials for Tissue Repair and Anti-infection

Dear Colleagues,

Biomaterials play a vital role in regenerative medicine, aiming to regenerate and replace lost/dysfunctional tissues. Nanotechnology is a powerful tool in modern materials science and able to incorporate biomimicry at the nanoscale in biomaterials. Due to the advantage of nanoscale features, nanostructured biomaterials show enhanced biocompatibilities, such as cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. In recent years, various types of nanostructured biomaterials have been developed and many surface modification techniques have been adopted to produce nano-functionalized biomaterials surface. These nanostructured biomaterials exhibit promising applications in biomedical fields.

This Special Issue focuses on the latest research developments of nanostructured biomaterials for tissue repair and anti-infection purposes. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress on nanostructured biomaterials for tissue repair and preventing infection. The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the fabrication, characterization, and properties of biomaterials such as ceramics, metals, and polymers with nanostructured surfaces.

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.
