Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
From rudimentary cardiopulmonary bypass systems to magnetically levitated micro-rotary flow pumps mounted onto catheters with self-expanding elements, we are in the midst of the next major inflection point in bioengineering for cardiac assist devices. In parallel to growth in mechanical engineering, our understanding of both the biologic and physiologic impacts of cardiac assist devices on myocardial recovery and multi-organ perfusion continues to develop. Finally, the promise of closed-loop communication between sensors and actuators driven by alternative intelligence platforms is emerging as a reality. To advance our understanding of this exciting field, this Special Issue of Bioengineering will promote interdisciplinary exchange, facilitate new collaborations, and stimulate expanded applications of innovations in the field of cardiac assist devices. The next major advance in cardiac assist devices is more likely to occur when seemingly disparate fields come together to innovate and disrupt existing paradigms. We invite engineers, scientists, healthcare professionals, and innovators from all disciplines to submit their original reports for consideration.

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. Bioengineering 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.
