Acta Biomaterialia is an international journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research reports, review papers and communications
in the broadly defined field of biomaterials science. The emphasis of the journal is on the relationship between biomaterial structure
and function at all length scales. The journal is committed to rapid peer-review and publication.
The scope of Acta Biomaterialia
includes:
Hypothesis-driven design of biomaterials
Biomaterial surface science linking structure to biocompatibility,
including protein adsorption and cellular interactions
Biomaterial mechanical characterization and modeling at all scales
Molecular, statistical and other types of modeling applied to capture biomaterial behavior
Interactions of biological species
with defined surfaces
Combinatorial approaches to biomaterial development
Structural biology as it relates structure
to function for biologically derived materials that have application as a medical material, or as it aids in understanding the biological
response to biomaterials
Methods for biomaterial characterization
Processing of biomaterials to achieve specific functionality
Materials development for arrayed genomic and proteomic screening
