Biomechanical Study and Analysis for Cardiovascular/Skeletal Materials and Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical materials are a promising solution to overcome tissue and organ failure both in cardiovascular and skeletal systems. In recent decades, there has been incredible progress towards the repair, remodelling and regeneration of tissues such as vasculature, heart valves, joint, cartilage, cornea, retina etc.  There is a great need for novel therapeutic options in treating numerous cardiovascular/skeletal diseases related to tissue failure. The biomechanical studies and analyses for cardiovascular/skeletal materials and devices are critical topics for the solution strategies of related clinical concerns.

The aim of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the state of the art of biomechanical studies and analyses for cardiovascular/skeletal materials, devices and their applications. Its scope includes—but is not limited to—fundamental studies of related materials, structures, devices and application issues. Both research and review articles are welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
