Special Issue Information
This Special Issue aims to showcase recent and emerging interdisciplinary advances in neuro-bioengineering, emphasizing the convergence of neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and translational bioengineering. We welcome original research, reviews, and technological reports that explore innovative diagnostics, smart and implantable devices, tissue regeneration platforms, computational modeling, and bioelectronic solutions designed to support, monitor, or restore nervous system function across diverse biological systems.
The central focus of this Special Issue is the integration of neural engineering with musculoskeletal and visceral systems, where complex neuro–mechanical interactions are essential for both physiological function and therapeutic innovation. We particularly encourage the submissions of papers that explore interactions of the nervous system with peripheral biological structures—including organs, joints, and soft tissues.
By showcasing studies conducted at a range of scales—from molecular and cellular mechanisms to system-level models and clinical applications—we seek to promote the development of holistic insights and engineering solutions for treating neurological and neuromechanical disorders.

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. Bioengineering 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.
