Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of biomaterials has revolutionized the fields of drug delivery and regenerative medicine. The development of responsive and targeted biomaterials presents new opportunities to enhance therapeutic efficacy and tissue regeneration. These materials can respond to specific biological signals or environmental triggers, ensuring precise delivery of therapeutics and promoting efficient tissue repair.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research and reviews on the design, development, and application of responsive and targeted biomaterials in drug delivery and regenerative medicine. We welcome submissions that explore innovative materials and technologies to address current challenges and improve clinical outcomes.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design and synthesis of responsive biomaterials for controlled drug release;
- Targeted drug delivery systems for precision medicine;
- Biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine;
- Smart hydrogels and nanomaterials for therapeutic applications;
- Stimuli-responsive materials for on-demand drug delivery;
- Advances in biomaterial-based scaffolds for tissue regeneration.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue, which will provide a comprehensive overview of the current trends and future directions in responsive and targeted biomaterials.

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.
