Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Laser-based technologies have introduced innovative approaches in material sciences to address major issues in modern medicine and life sciences. A great advantage of laser processing is its ability to engineer various types of materials and structures in inert or ultraclean environments, leading to unique physicochemical properties for healthcare applications, including nano-objects for multimodal imaging and therapy, smart drug release systems, regenerative medicine, and novel complex biosystem analyses. In this context, the introduction of ultrashort laser pulses for material processing has been a breakthrough in the design of novel generations of smart, agile, and functional materials ranging from functional engineered nanoparticles to hierarchically periodic biomimetic systems over different length scales.
This Special Issue aims at covering the state of the art in the design of materials and nanomaterials based on laser approaches for biomedical applications including nanomedicine, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and even bioclinical analyses. The proposed Special Issue is inviting original articles in form of communications, full papers, and reviews demonstrating the progress in the research fields of laser-synthesized nanosystems for increased biosensor sensitivity, faster detection, and cancer research therapy. The design of novel biomimetic functional platforms through combination with other chemical and physical methods for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are also of great interest and will be covered in the issue.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
