Bioinspired Materials for Tissue Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are important interdisciplinary fields aiming to define efficient strategies for repairing and restoring the structural integrity and functionality of damaged tissues and organs. Involving different research areas, such as medicine, biology, chemistry, and bioengineering, tissue engineering has recent advanced towards a growing range of clinical needs, supported by progress in the design and development of novel biomaterials with specific properties for specific applications.

Bioinspired materials, including biodegradable polymers, hydrogels, composite materials, proteins, etc., properly designed for tissue engineering applications, along with their processing and characterization techniques, are the focus of this Special Issue. In particular, this Special Issue aims to collect the most recent and interesting advances in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in order to provide readers, researchers, and clinicians with an overview of the scientific progress in this field that can open new horizons in the definition of novel approaches for the treatment of many medical issues.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
