Dear Colleagues,

Please accept this invitation to submit a manuscript for a special issue of Materials entitled "Advances in Biomaterials". This special issue will provide the community with the opportunity to present the latest fundamental and applied biomaterials research to the broader materials community. Materials publishes manuscripts which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials and covers all aspects of biomaterials research. This special issue will facilitate interactions between the biomaterials community and the broader materials communities.
