Biomaterials, Biodevices and Tissue Engineering, Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The innovation in biomaterials in several forms, compositions, and uses has seen exponential growth over the past 10 years and has led to increased confidence in the industry as regards the design and fabrication of biomedical devices that can be used as drug delivery systems, in tissue engineering, and as bioelectronic devices such as biosensors or organic solar cells. The choice and adequation of the optimal biomaterial for a specific application with a cost-effective manufacturing process have been the objective of even more scientists around the world. Additionally, the construction of nanostructures has led to many advantageous characteristics of these biomaterials, stimulating their bioactivity due to the accessibility of many tissues or incrementing the surface area, leading to a higher load of a bioactive component, among others. One example is the use of the electrospinning technique, which permits the fabrication of tridimensional fibrous structures that simulate the tissue’s extracellular matrix, which promotes cell proliferation. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on novel methodological developments in micro- and nano-scale fabrication, novel synthesis processes, chemical compositions, nanostructures, coatings, or bioactivity and tissue response in areas of application of tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, and biomedical devices.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
