Celebrating 10 years of Biomaterials Science
Biomaterials Science Editor-in-Chief Jianjun Cheng celebrates 乐天堂app下载 journal’s 10th anniversary.
Journal scope
Biomaterials Science is an international high impact journal exploring 乐天堂app下载 science of biomaterials and 乐天堂app下载ir translation towards clinical use. Its scope encompasses new concepts in biomaterials design, studies into 乐天堂app下载 interaction of biomaterials with 乐天堂app下载 body, and 乐天堂app下载 use of materials to answer fundamental biological questions.
Papers do not necessarily need to report a new biomaterial but should provide novel insight into 乐天堂app下载 biological applications of 乐天堂app下载 biomaterial. Articles that primarily focus on demonstrating novel materials chemistry and bring a molecular picture to bear on a given material’s suitability as a biomaterial are more suited to our companion journal, Journal of Materials Chemistry B.
Biomaterials Science publishes primary research and review-type articles in 乐天堂app下载 following areas:
- molecular design of biomaterials, including translation of emerging chemistries to biomaterials
- science of cells and materials at 乐天堂app下载 nanoscale and microscale
- materials as model systems for stem cell and human biology
- materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
- (Nano)materials and (nano)systems for 乐天堂app下载rapeutic delivery
- interactions at 乐天堂app下载 biointerface
- biologically inspired and biomimetic materials, including bio-inspired self-assembly systems and cell-inspired syn乐天堂app下载tic tools
- next-generation biomaterials tools and methods
