Biomaterials and Bioimaging: From Biological Tissues to Biomedical Implants

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary field that applies principles of chemistry, physics, material science, and mechanical engineering into biology to find and treat diseases. Among various biomedical engineering areas, in particular, significant progress has been made in biomaterial and bioimaging research over the past few decades. Consequently, by leveraging the technologies of these two areas, rapid growth has been made in the field of biomedical engineering. Therefore, in-depth research on biomaterials and bioimaging will have a synergistic effect on understanding human diseases and can facilitate technological advances in preventing, monitoring, and treating diseases.

This Special Issue, “Biomaterials and Bioimaging: From biological tissues to biomedical implants”, will include the latest innovations and emerging developments in biomaterials, bioimaging, and integrative research of these two areas. For example, in the biomaterial area, any topic related to 3D printing, metal implants, bioscaffolds, bioactive surface treatment, tissue engineering, and any new types of materials can be covered. In bioimaging, tissue optics or tomography, multimodal imaging microscopy, molecular imaging and therapies, optical coherence tomography, image analysis methods, and any new types of tissue or cell imaging methods can be included. Most types of articles related to these topics are welcome, including original research articles, brief communications, and review articles. We have the great pleasure of inviting you to contribute research article(s) to this Special Issue.

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-anonymized 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.
