Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, biomimetic systems are gaining attention as powerful and efficient technology inspired by biological solutions at the macro and nanoscale. In general, biomimetic systems aim to apply the knowledge gained from biological systems in diverse fields of science. Understanding the principles of nature's design, structure, and function enables the development of novel methods and solutions in various areas, such as biology, medicine, engineering, and physics. This technology is a multidisciplinary approach with a wide range of strategies.
In this Special Issue, we wish to focus on *original research papers* describing recent developments, achievements, and biomedical applications inspired by nature. Research topics include drug-delivery systems, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, organ-on-a-chip systems, biomaterials, and nanotechnology. In this Special Issue, we also welcome review papers covering the requirements of biomimetic systems, the latest advances, and developments in biomimetic systems used for biomedical applications, and the remaining challenges in this field.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
