Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to showcase research that merges the fields of engineering and biology through the lens of mechanobiology. We aim to highlight studies that provide insights into critical biological processes and develop innovative bioengineering solutions.
Contributors are encouraged to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews and case studies that explore the mechanical aspects of biological systems from a molecular to an organ scale. This includes advances in microphysiological systems that mimic the pathophysiological context of cells, innovations in bioengineering that contribute to our understanding of disease pathogenesis and the application of mechanobiology findings to develop therapeutic strategies.
The Special Issue targets an interdisciplinary audience of biologists, bioengineers and medical researchers, aiming to foster a collaborative dialogue that bridges theoretical knowledge with clinical and practical applications. We particularly welcome contributions that push the boundaries of how mechanical forces can influence and dictate biological function and pathology, thus opening new avenues for mechanobiological research in health and disease.
Dr. Wenqiang Du
Guest Editor
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. Biomedicines 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.
