Artificial Organs

Dear Colleagues,

The field of bioengineered materials for medical applications is moving at an ever-increasing pace. This is evident in the proliferation of journals dedicated to biomaterials, nanotechnology, and regenerative medicine. Furthermore, the exponential rate at which research articles are published pertaining to these subjects, attests to the significance of this field. One of the holy grails of medicine and surgery is the replacement of damaged or diseased organs with artificially engineered ones. The development of artificial organs is a multi-disciplinary undertaking, bringing together both scientists and clinicians in their respective areas of expertise. In this Special Issue, we aim to showcase research at the interface of molecular science and regenerative therapies. We therefore invite you to submit your manuscript for this Special Issue entitled Artificial Organs.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.
