Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is designed for an overview of bioimaging technology that is currently in use in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This issue includes original and cutting-edge research and mini-review articles that reflect fields of design and therapeutic applications of nanomaterials for targeting based on imaging, nanomedicine, molecular imaging, nuclear medicine, designing of unique probes for biosensing, drug biodistribution, drug–polymer conjugations as imaging agents, aggregation-induced emission, and personalized medicine. Bioimaging technology is highly useful for the noninvasive and real-time measurement of drug biodistributions, diagnosis, and efficacy treatments, monitoring the progression of disease drug development and finding physiological pathways in vivo at the cellular and molecular levels. Biomaterials can be but are not limited to QDs, magnetic nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, labeling of drugs, dye, polymers, peptides, antibodies, and macromolecules. Designs of bioimaging materials with drugs, imaging agents, or nucleic acids are incorporated into single nanoparticles to build a multifunctional probe, which permits theranostics. This Special Issue will provide an overview of current research on the synthesis, characterization, and design of nanomaterials and their applications for bioimaging technology.

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.
