Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Peptide biomaterials hold great potential for a wide range of biomedical applications due to their unique physicochemical and biological properties. Peptides have not only been used as therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents but have also been used as a versatile toolkit to construct and functionalize biomaterials, including, but not limited to, applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering and regeneration, biological interactions, and molecular/cellular biology, offering promising solutions and applicability to address various biomedical challenges. In this Special Issue, we aim to curate and highlight the most recent advancements and developments in peptide-based biomaterials for biomedical applications. We warmly invite manuscripts from researchers worldwide to contribute their original research and review articles to this Special Issue. By harnessing the unique properties of peptides, we aspire to discover innovative solutions and foster beneficial outcomes for unmet biomedical needs.

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.
