Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mechanics of biomaterials are known the influence the prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various diseases and injuries. Mechanical cues regulate the cellular differentiation and adhesion, as well as the tissue remodeling and growth. This Special Issue focuses on the application of engineering principles relating to material science and biology to achieve a better understanding of biomaterials at different scales. Computational techniques and/or experimental characterizations of biological and replacement biomaterials at multiple scales are sought to quantify their structure-function relationships. Manuscripts which discuss the development of new prevention solutions, treatment methodologies, as well as new biomaterials such as functionally graded materials are also desired.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
