Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is firmly supporting the impact of regenerative medicine in standard as well as in innovative medical treatments, by making new solutions available with tailored functionalities which enable the achievement of results that would otherwise be unreachable. This represents an extremely stimulating area of research, which forces all of us to collaborate in a strong interdisciplinary manner, operating in a modern field where chemists join forces with engineers, biologists, and clinicians. Innovation in this sector may include, for instance, new bioactive ingredients that stimulate and drive tissue regeneration, the combination of organic molecules and polymers with biological species acting as growth factors, new technologies for the control of the morphology and surface properties of the scaffolds for tissue regeneration, as well as the control of their architecture and physical-mechanical features. Additionally, innovations in fabrication technologies enabling unprecedented results are offering new insights in this field.
We invite authors to contribute original research or comprehensive review articles covering the most recent progress and new developments in the nanotechnology for regenerative medicine, in the development of new organic and inorganic materials that support tissue regeneration, their diverse combinations to fabricate novel devices and scaffolds, surface modification technologies for integration with biological environments, and new solutions for the many medical areas of interest (dental, maxillo-facial, articular, etc.). This Special Issue aims to cover a broad range of subjects, from nanomaterials synthesis to the design and characterization of scaffolds, and devices and technologies with nanomaterial integration to support the regeneration of biological tissues.
We welcome the submission of full papers, communications, and reviews. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Nanomaterials and nanocomposites development, synthesis, and fabrication for regenerative medicine applications;
- Novel micro/nanofabrication technologies for scaffolds for tissue engineering;
- Design and preparation of novel nanotextured/nanostructured surfaces for improved interaction and integration with the biological environment;
- Sustainable technologies for nanomaterials processing for regenerative medicine;
- Other studies of nanoscience and nanotechnology associated with regenerative medicine.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
