Novel Materials for Biomedical Applications: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Following a very successful first run, we are pleased to announce the launch of a second edition of a Special Issue on novel materials for biomedical applications.

Novel materials, including nanoparticles, play a significant role in drug delivery for the treatment of diseases, vaccine delivery and tissue regeneration. Specifically, smart biomaterials and nanoparticles are widely used for targeted delivery.

This Special Issue of Biomolecules will focus on the most recent advances, including micro-/nanocarrier-based materials, the synthesis or conjugation of novel materials, and protein/peptide-based biomaterials for biomedical applications. Current advances in the development of these novel materials will be discussed, and the topics addressed will include multifunctional liposomes, microneedles, microdroplets, nanoparticles, and other micro-/nanocarriers for disease treatment and skin and vascular regeneration. In this context, we also encourage discussions on the design of novel micro-/nanocarriers, drug delivery, and the synthesis or conjugation of novel materials with currently available FDA-approved drugs in biomedical applications. In addition, manuscripts covering novel methods and protocols incorporating the technological advancements for strengthening the development of biomedical products and devices also fall under the scope of the Special Issue. Both research and review articles proposing novel innovations are welcome.

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
