Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tissue engineering is the development of biomaterials that guide tissue regeneration while providing mechanical support and biological cues. Understanding the biological principles of tissue growth and the interplay between cells and biomaterials is crucial. Advancements in manufacturing technologies enable the precise control of biomaterial properties, allowing tailored approaches to address specific clinical needs.
Advanced biomaterials are essential for tissue engineering, aiding in regenerating and repairing damaged tissues or organs. The integration of advanced biomaterials with diagnostic technologies is also crucial for real-time monitoring and feedback. For instance, incorporating sensors and imaging modalities into biomaterials will enable researchers to create materials that respond actively to environmental changes, enhancing therapeutic efficacy.
This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in biomaterials and fabrication technologies tailored for regenerative medicine. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel fabrication technologies;
- Cutting-edge features and design requirements of biofabricated structures;
- The development of innovative biomaterials;
- Stimuli-responsive materials for drug delivery systems;
- Self-assembling and self-healing materials for biomedical applications.
We encourage the submission of original research, review articles, short communications, and perspectives that elucidate the current state of the art of advanced biomaterials in regenerative medicine and provide insights into the future directions of 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.
