Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering Journals

An international journal covering the science and clinical application of biomaterials, defined as substances engineered to direct, through interactions with biological components, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. Strong coverage of polymer synthesis and characterization, drug and gene vector design, host response biology, immunology and toxicology, nanoscale self-assembly, regenerative medicine, implantable devices and bionanotechnology.

An international journal publishing peer-reviewed original research, reviews and communications in biomaterials science, emphasizing the relationship between biomaterial structure and function at all length scales. Scope includes hypothesis-driven biomaterial design, surface science linking structure to biocompatibility, mechanical characterization and modeling, molecular and statistical modeling of biomaterial behavior, combinatorial biomaterial development, and structural biology of biologically derived materials.

Explores the underlying science governing the design, function, and biological interactions of biomaterials at the nanoscale and macroscale. Covers hydrogels, scaffold design, biopolymer nanoparticles, cell-material interactions, 3D bioprinting, extracellular matrix-mimicking nanomaterials, and nano-enabled tissue engineering. Emphasizes mechanistic understanding of host-material interactions and translation to tissue engineering, drug delivery, and implantable devices.

Publishes refereed papers providing significant progress in the application of biomaterials and tissue engineering constructs as medical or dental implants, prostheses and devices. Coverage includes synthesis and processing of biomaterials, surface modification, drug-eluting devices, scaffolds for tissue engineering, biocompatibility and in vivo evaluation in clinically relevant models.

Publishes peer-reviewed original research and review papers on the development, manufacture and clinical applications of new biomaterials. Topics include polymeric, metallic and ceramic biomaterials, drug-eluting biomaterials, scaffolds for tissue engineering, biocompatibility evaluation, and translational research on biomaterial-based medical devices, sutures, wound dressings and implantable systems.
