Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Light, as an emerging external stimulus for photoresponsive materials, features ultrahigh spatiotemporal precision. Tailoring advanced photoresponsive materials has a significant impact on a wealth of domains, such as biocatalysis, optical sensors, light-harvesting systems, molecular imaging, and phototherapeutics. In particular, high-performance photoresponsive biomaterials offer promising opportunities for effective cancer precision therapy in an unprecedented manner. This Special Issue aims to direct the development of more advanced photoresponsive biomaterials for cancer theranostics and related applications. Both research and review articles focusing on advanced biomedical photonics 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 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.
