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.
