Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials, whether of biological or synthetic origin, have evolved into an integral part of medical devices and material systems deployed for healthcare applications. Over the past two decades, biomaterials have advanced from traditional applications (orthopedic, dental, etc.) to vehicles for drug delivery, implantable biosensors, and templates to host cells and have guided their growth. The unprecedented growth of both implantable and extracorporeal material-based therapeutics was driven in part by our capacity to functionalize their surface properties along with recent advances facilitating the manipulation of matter on the nanoscale.
As a result, multifunctional biomaterials have attracted immense interest within the materials community, providing biomedical engineers, physicians, and other medical and biotechnology professionals with novel therapeutic approaches.
This new Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for peer-reviewed articles in the field of biomaterials, including but not limited to the synthesis and characterization of biomaterials, development/modification of nano-particulate systems (whether synthesized or naturally derived/isolated), applications thereof in targeted therapeutics and biomedical imaging, and interactions of biomaterial with biological systems on the cellular, tissue, and organ level. We invite original research, review articles, and communications covering one or more of the aforementioned fields. Our aim is to bring together a collection of up-to-date research and reviews from leading experts and distinguished groups within the scientific community.
Dr. Alexander Tsouknidas
Guest Editor
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
