Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the use of nanoscience was introduced in the biomedical field for regenerative medicine and, moreover, cancer treatment. Nanotechnologies developed over the years brought forward nanomaterials, nanoparticles, nanosensors, and nanocarriers designed with enhanced properties in order to provide improved treatments. In the context of designing implants used for tissue regeneration, nanospecies within nanomaterials contribute to stimulating cell proliferation and better cellular adhesion to the substrate. Nanoparticles with different origins, such as magnetic, polymeric, metallic, silica, quantum dots, etc., can be used either functionalized as part of nanomaterials in order to modulate the interaction with cells, or to deliver drugs or other substances to specific types of cells (i.e., cancer cells). Moreover, nanotechnology offers numerous methods to specifically target cancerous cells and enhance the therapeutic effects of other treatments. Other nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, polymeric micelles, liposomes, etc., have been successfully used in cancer drug design. Cumulatively, all these nanosystems can be used to develop personalized treatments used in the fields of regenerative medicine or cancer therapy.
This Special Issue addresses "Advanced Nanosciences in Regenerative Medicine and Cancer Treatment", with a special focus on nanosystems as drug delivery platforms and nanomaterials used in regenerative medicine and cancer treatment. This Special Issue in The Journal of Functional Biomaterials aims to publish original articles, short communications, and reviews from scientists working in advanced nanosciences, with applications for the research and biomedical fields, including, but not limited to:
- Nanomaterials designed for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research applications;
- Nanomaterials used in cancer drug design;
- Nanocarriers used to deliver drugs/natural compounds that favor tissue regeneration, and/or wound healing;
- Nanocarriers used to deliver drugs or other substances to cancer cells;
- Nanoparticles that have applicability in either regenerative medicine or cancer drug delivery;
- Advanced drug delivery systems for cancer treatment;
- Nanotechnologies used in the biomedical field.
We very much look forward to your valuable contributions.

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.
