Bioactive Materials is an international, peer-reviewed research publication covering all aspects of bioactive materials. The journal welcomes the submission of research papers, reviews and rapid communications that are concerned with the science and engineering of next-generation biomaterials that come into contact with cells, tissues or organs across all living species. Bioactive materials will feature adaptiveness to the biological environment, being designed to stimulate and/or direct appropriate cellular and tissue responses, or control interactions with microbiological species.The journal publishes research on the entire range of bioactive materials that have been specifically and functionally engineered or designed in term of either their physical form (e.g. particulate, fibre, etc.), topology (e.g. porosity, surface roughness, etc.) or dimensions (i.e. macro to nano-scales). The journal invites contributions from the following categories of bioactive materials : (i) bioactive metals and alloys, (ii) bioactive inorganics: ceramics, glasses and carbon-based materials, (iii) bioactive polymers and gels, (iv) bioactive materials sourced from nature and (v) bioactive composites, for use in human or veterinary medicine as implants, tissue engineering scaffolds, cell/drug/gene carriers, imaging and sensing devices.Peer review This journal operates a double blind review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final. More information on types of peer review.

AimsMechanobiology in Medicine (MBM) aspires to become one of the most prominent publishing venue in mechanobiology by bringing together the most important advances in the discipline, enhancing their visibility by means of opinion and news articles, and providing overviews of the state of the art in each field through topic-, disease- or technology-focused review articles.By publishing content that traverses field boundaries, Mechanobiology in Medicine helps to build bridges between engineers, life scientists, and medical professionals. Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary discipline that combines biology, engineering, chemistry, physics and medicine. It is a comprehensive and high-tech discipline focused on how physical forces and changes in the mechanical properties of cells and tissues contribute to development, cell differentiation, physiology, and disease-related through understanding mechanotransduction-the molecular mechanisms by which cells sense and respond to mechanical signals.ScopeMechanobiology in Medicine is a peer-reviewed, online, open access journal focused on fundamental research of mechanobiology by studyingthe structure, function and interrelationship within human body at multiple levels using principles and methods of modern natural science and engineering technology, and trying to provide novel insights into how mechanical inputs regulate cell behavior and tissue homeostasis and how their deregulation might cause disease. The journal includes research articles, reviews, and rapid communications with a focus on the mechanobiological advances for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.Topics covered in Mechanobiology in Medicine includeCellular and molecular mechanobiology, mechanosensors, mechanotransduction, cellular dynamics, cellular mechanical response, multitissue interactions, and mechanical regulation in diseases and healthMechanobiology in biological processes, mechanical memory, mechanobiology in development, organismal morphogenesis, and tissue and cell remodelingTechnologies in mechanobiology research, biochips, mechanobiology in biomaterials, mechanobiomarkers, single-molecule approaches, and immunoengineeringClinical applications, including translational medicine, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery
