Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mesoporous nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for bone tissue engineering due to their unique properties, such as a high surface area, tunable pore size, and biocompatibility. Recent studies have focused on improving the properties of these materials for better tissue regeneration.
One issue that has been addressed is the need for better control over the pore size of the materials. Researchers have explored different synthesis methods, such as sol–gel and template methods, that are used to achieve a more uniform pore size distribution.
Another challenge is the need for these materials to have appropriate mechanical properties to support bone regeneration. To address this, researchers have incorporated various reinforcement materials, such as graphene, into mesoporous nanomaterials in order to enhance their mechanical strength.
Furthermore, the use of mesoporous nanomaterials for drug delivery has also been explored. Researchers have incorporated drugs such as antibiotics and growth factors into the pores of these materials to provide localized and sustained release for better tissue regeneration.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present various aspects of mesoporous nanomaterials, from physicochemical evaluations to biological in vitro and in vivo assessments to even clinical uses for improving tissue regeneration.

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.
