Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As Bioengineering celebrates its 10th anniversary, we are looking to highlight and celebrate the success of select bioengineering-focused centers around the world. You are invited to contribute 10,000 words and 5 figures that serve to highlight the major transformative accomplishments (research-to-innovation, bench-to-bedside, fab-to-factory, or innovations that are clearly on a path to doing so) contributed by your center over the last 10 years. Of equal importance and high relevance are contributions to new scientific directions, new methods, and/or new tools that have changed the course of inquiry or are poised to do so. This special 10th Anniversary Commemorative Issue will curate the major accomplishments of a selected number of high-impact centers from around the world. 

The deadline is April 15th, 2024.

APC: 100% discount of CHF 2700 (Swiss Francs) = CHF 0.00 (Invited contributors only)

Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354), under its Founding Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Anthony Guiseppi-Elie, is an open access journal that provides a forum for advances in the science and technology of biological and biomedical engineering and is published monthly online by MDPI. Launched in 2014, Bioengineering will celebrate its 10-year anniversary in 2024 with a Special Commemorative Issue: “Perspectives in Bioengineering”. You are invited to contribute your perspective in this Commemorative Issue.

Perspectives may originate from the vantage point of the several main sections of the journal:

  • Biomedical Biomaterials (SEiC, Prof. Gary Bowlin, University of Memphis, USA);
  • Biomechanics and Sports Medicine (SEiC, Dr. Franz Konstantin Fuss, University of Bayreuth, Germany);
  • Regenerative and Tissue Engineering (SEiC, Elena A. Jones, University of Leeds, UK);
  • Nano-Biotechnology (SEiC, Dr. Gary Chinga Carrasco, RISE PFI, Norway);
  • Biosignal Processing (SEiC,  Andrea Cataldo University of Salento, Italy);
  • Biochemical Engineering (SEiC, Prof. Dr. Liang Luo, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China. 

Bioengineering has a reputable Editorial Board comprising well-established researchers such as Prof. Dr. Anthony Atala, Prof. Dr. Eben Alsberg, Prof. Dr. Ali Khademhosseini, Prof. Dr. Dietmar W. Hutmacher, Prof. Dr. Fergal J. O'Brien, Prof. Dr. Jason A. Burdick, Prof. Dr. Aldo R. Boccaccini, Prof. Dr. Gary S. Stein, and Prof. Dr. Daniel G. Anderson and is indexed by some leading archival indexing services, including SCIE (IF 4.6), Scopus (CiteScore of 4.2, which equals rank 34/96 (Q2)), PubMed, Web of Science BIOSIS, and INSPEC (IET).

We also welcome any inquiries regarding the form and format of your contribution. We have established 10,000 words and 5 figures as a general guide. However, we can be flexible so that you can tell your impact story as desired.

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.

Magnetic robots possess an innate ability to navigate through hard-to-reach cavities in the human body, making them promising tools for diagnosing and treating diseases minimally invasively. Despite significant advances, the development of robots with desirable locomotion and full biocompatibility under harsh physiological conditions remains challenging, which put forward new requirements for magnetic robots’ design and material synthesis. Compared to robots that are synthesized with inorganic materials, natural organisms like cells, bacteria or other microalgae exhibit ideal properties for in vivo applications, such as biocompatibility, deformability, auto-fluorescence, and self-propulsion, as well as easy for functional therapeutics engineering. In the process, these organisms can provide autonomous propulsion in biological fluids or external magnetic fields, while retaining their functionalities with integrating artificial robots, thus aiding targeted therapeutic delivery. This kind of robotics is named bio-hybrid magnetic robotics, and in this mini-review, recent progress including their design, engineering and potential for therapeutics delivery will be discussed. Additionally, the historical context and prominent examples will be introduced, and the complexities, potential pitfalls, and opportunities associated with bio-hybrid magnetic robotics will be discussed.
