Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the open access MDPI journal Biomolecules. To celebrate this important occasion, we are delighted and proud to organize a series of Special Issues and events. To date, the journal has received more than 6000 manuscript submissions and published more than 2600 articles, and the journal website attracts more than 26,483 monthly page views. We would like to express our sincerest thanks to our readers, authors, peer reviewers, editors, and all the people contributing in some way to the success of the journal over these 10 years. Without your support, we would never have achieved what we have achieved.
To mark this important milestone, a Special Issue entitled “10th Anniversary of Biomolecules—Recent Advances in Biodegradable Biomaterials” is being launched. This Special Issue will collect original research articles and high-quality review papers in the research fields related to biodegradable biomaterials. We kindly encourage authors actively working in areas contributing to the development of Biodegradable Biomaterials to submit contributions to this important, singular, and very Special Issue.
Keywords of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Synthetic biodegradable biomaterials
- Biologically derived biodegradable biomaterials
- Ceramic and mineralized biomaterials
- Protein-based biomaterials
- Self-assembling biomaterials
- Surface functionalized biomaterials
- ECM-derived biomaterials
- Biodegradable biomaterials in drug delivery applications
- Clinical use of biodegradable biomaterials
A scientific journal is the collaborative achievement of many scientists from all over the world and we would like to thank all our authors and reviewers who have contributed to this singular and extra-special Special Issue for their support. In recognition of our authors’ continued support, Biomolecules is pleased to announce that the “Biomolecules Best Paper Award for Anniversary Special Issue” will be launched and granted to the 3 papers published in the 10th Anniversary Special Issue and having more citations in the 2 calendar years after publication (2022 and 2023, excluding self-citations).

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. Biomolecules 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.
