Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Scaffolds for tissue engineering represent an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of materials science, biology, and engineering, aimed at creating supportive structures for tissue growth and regeneration. Tailored designs and biomaterial selection yield biocompatible scaffolds, often shaped using advanced methods like 3D printing and electrospinning. These scaffolds host seeded cells, sometimes cultured in bioreactors to foster tissue formation. This interdisciplinary approach drives advances in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and innovative food production.
Recognizing the pivotal role of scaffolds in tissue engineering, this Special Issue aims to showcase recent advancements in this field. It seeks innovative strategies in scaffold-based construct design, addressing processing advantages and limitations of functional biomaterials. Contributions in various formats, including full research articles, clinical studies, or review articles, are encouraged and welcomed.

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.
