Announcements

Scientists at Stanford have recently published an update of the list of the top 2% most widely cited scientists—the World’s Top 2% Scientists.

The time node of the statistical data of this list is from 1960 to 2022, and it is divided into two lists: "Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking" and "2022 Annual Scientific Influence Ranking". The "Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking" counts the comprehensive influence performance of scientists during their careers, and the "2022 Annual Influence Ranking" focuses on highlighting the academic influence of scientists in the previous year. This ranking, considered the most prestigious worldwide, is based on the bibliometric information contained in the Scopus database and includes more than 200,000 researchers from the more than 10 million scientists considered to be active worldwide, with 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields taken into account.

We are pleased to share that 59 Editorial Board Members from MDPI’s Bioengineering (ISSN: 2306-5354) were featured in the list of the World’s Top 2% Scientists in 2022.

The latest rankings reflect the significant influence and research excellence of the scientists, who are committed to furthering their knowledge for the benefit of the world.

We would like to congratulate our Editorial Board Members on their excellent achievement and thank them for their immense contribution to the scientific progression and development of Bioengineering.

It is our pleasure to invite you to read the issue cover papers from the Bioengineering (ISSN: 2306-5354) journal published in 2021. The selected papers are listed below:

Name: Dr. Dong-Wook Han
Email: nanohan@pusan.ac.kr
Article: “Advanced Techniques for Skeletal Muscle Tissue Engineering and Regeneration”

We had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Dong-Wook Han, author of the recently published paper "Advanced Techniques for Skeletal Muscle Tissue Engineering and Regeneration", to discuss the recent research trends in scaffold fabrication for skeletal muscle tissue regeneration using advanced techniques, such as electrospinning and 3D bioprinting.

Dr. Dong-Wook Han works as an Professor at the Department of Optics and Mechatronics Engineering, BK21+ Nano-Integrated Cogno-Mechatronics Engineering, College of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, Pusan National University. We hope you enjoy the interview!

1. Congratulations on your published paper. Can you give a bit of background about yourself and what your research areas are?
   I obtained my Ph.D. degree in the graduate program of biomedical engineering from Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea in 2004. After undertaking a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences, Kyoto University, Japan for two and a half years, I joined the faculty of the Department of Optics and Mechatronics Engineering at Pusan National University. Since 2008, I have authored or co-authored over 180 scientific publications, possessed over 20 international and domestic patents, and joined several book chapters. My research interest concerns BT-NT convergence, especially tissue engineering and biomedical imaging with smart nanobiomaterials, development of artificial tissues, organs and medical devices by 3D printing, and assessment of nanomaterials toxicity (nanotoxicity).

2. What made you decide to publish a bioengineering article? Why did you choose Bioengineering?
   As a researcher in the field of biomedical engineering, I have been conducting tissue engineering research for the production of artificial structures that can replace various body parts such as bones, nerves, skin, and skeletal muscle based on diverse biomaterials for the past 20 years. To this end, it is essential to use advanced technologies such as electrospinning or 3D bioprinting to transform multifunctional nanobiomaterials into biocompatible and bioactive specific scaffolds. In recent years, I have been carrying out research with an emphasis on the creation of functional skeletal muscle. While I was thinking of writing a review paper to share and communicate with researchers in related fields about comparisons between other results and future prospects based on some experiences and know-how accumulated so far, I came across the introduction of the Special Issue of Bioengineering by chance, which led me to the decision to submit a paper here because I was convinced that it best suited my thoughts and intentions.

3. What was your experience publishing with Bioengineering?
   In a word, it was one of the best ever. Most journals and publishers operate their own characteristic submission system, but it is felt that the effectiveness of the system, although speed would be of great importance, depends on the accuracy of the review process, transparency, and the quality of review comments. In this respect, my experience publishing with Bioengineering is a so-called strong recommendation.

4. Was it important to you that the journal is open access?
   Whether a journal is open access or not is one of the most important factors when choosing a journal to submit my paper to. As mentioned above, review papers can be a valuable means to share many years of research experience and knowledge in a specific field with interested people as well as all researchers regardless of field, and open access is considered to be a basic prerequisite for this.

5. What do you hope that readers will get from your paper?
   The subject matter of my review paper dealt with advanced techniques such as electrospinning and 3D bioprinting using different types of polymers for skeletal muscle tissue engineering and regeneration. If relevant or interested researchers read my paper, I hope that it will be of some help in understanding the state-of-the-art research trend in various technology for skeletal muscle tissue engineering as well as in setting the direction of research or obtaining necessary ideas for your research.

Place: San Antonio, Texas, USA
Booth: #346

MDPI will be attending the 2022 BMES Annual Meeting as an exhibitor from 12 to 15 October 2022 in San Antonio, Texas, USA.

BMES holds an annual meeting where they have hosted up to 5,500 biomedical engineers who attend more than 2,500 scientific presentations on cancer treatment, heart disease, women’s health, global health disparities, and more. The meeting allows members to advocate for their innovative solutions, demonstrating their commitment to the society’s core value of health equity for all individuals. In addition, BMES shares scientific information to inspire the up-and-coming generation through four scientific journals, three special interest groups, and collaborations with other scientific societies to elevate the visibility and significant impact that the biomedical engineering community has worldwide as the thought leaders behind the future of human health.

From 12 to 15 October 2022, in the vibrant multicultural city of San Antonio, we will celebrate the tremendous contributions made by BMES members in research, teaching, education, and the workforce that directly impact many sectors of our society. We also aim to highlight equity issues in healthcare and education, stemming from racial and socioeconomic diversity, gender and sexual orientation, and disabilities.

The following MDPI journals will be represented:

• Applied Sciences;
• Bioengineering;
• Biomedicines;
• Biomimetics;
• Biomolecules;
• Biosensors;
• Cancers;
• CIMB;
• Diseases.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you plan on attending this conference. Our delegates look forward to meeting you in person and answering any questions that you might have.
