Biomaterials

Journal Title：Biomaterials

Biomaterials is an international journal covering the science and clinical application of biomaterials. A biomaterial is now defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. It is the aim of the journal to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers and authoritative review and opinion papers dealing with the most important issues facing the use of biomaterials in clinical practice. The scope of the journal covers the wide range of physical, biological and chemical sciences that underpin the design of biomaterials and the clinical disciplines in which they are used. These sciences include polymer synthesis and characterization, drug and gene vector design, the biology of the host response, immunology and toxicology and self assembly at the nanoscale. Clinical applications include the therapies of medical technology and regenerative medicine in all clinical disciplines, and diagnostic systems that reply on innovative contrast and sensing agents. The journal is relevant to areas such as cancer diagnosis and therapy, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, gene vectors, bionanotechnology and tissue engineering.

Biomaterials 是一本涵盖生物材料科学和临床应用的国际期刊。生物材料现在被定义为一种物质，它被设计成一种形式，可以单独或作为复杂系统的一部分，通过控制与生命系统组件的相互作用来指导任何治疗或诊断过程的过程.该杂志的目的是为发表原创论文和权威评论和意见论文提供一个同行评审论坛，这些论文涉及临床实践中使用生物材料面临的最重要问题。该期刊的范围涵盖了支持生物材料设计和使用它们的临床学科的广泛的物理、生物和化学科学。这些科学包括聚合物合成和表征、药物和基因载体设计、宿主反应生物学、免疫学和毒理学以及纳米级的自组装。临床应用包括所有临床学科中的医疗技术和再生医学疗法，以及依赖创新对比剂和传感剂的诊断系统。该期刊涉及癌症诊断和治疗、植入设备、药物输送系统、基因载体、生物纳米技术和组织工程等领域。

Biomaterials创刊于1980年，由ELSEVIER SCI LTD出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖工程技术 - 材料科学：生物材料全领域，在行业领域中学术影响力很大，属于TOP期刊，国际一流期刊，关注度和专业度非常高，所以对原创文章要求创新性很高，过审难度很高，如果您有志于TOP期刊，建议关注此刊。平均审稿速度约1.0个月，影响因子指数10.317，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
