Dear Colleagues,

Biomimetics is a branch of applied science that searches for solutions for encountered problems based on answers already developed by nature. Biomimetic solutions have been adapted widely in branches of science such as medicine, biochemistry, and pharmacy.

An emblematic example of such a bio-inspired solution is the use of particle recognition mechanisms based on antigen–antibody selective binding. This technique has found extensive use in many sensor devices for the detection of the presence of antibodies in patients’ blood or plasma widely applied in diagnostics laboratories. Another significant example of such a biomimetic solution are bio-inspired implants or artificial tissues for application in many branches of surgery.

In the present Special Issue, we would like to welcome papers reporting novel original research on biomimetic solutions for applications in medicine, biochemistry or pharmacy, as well as synthetic review papers reporting the state of the art of bio-inspired devices and systems employed in these fields.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
