A thematic series in Cell Regeneration.

Biointerface, defined by interconnections and intercommunications between natural or synthetic materials in living systems (e.g., cells, tissues, and organs), takes the central stage in regulating the multiscale biological states, structures, and functions that are fundamental for life and health. Deep understanding and rational manipulation of biointerface through engineering is an essential paradigm for advancing regenerative therapeutics. This requires seamless integration of a broad spectrum of research fields, including biology, materials science, physics, mechanics, computer science, mechatronics and robotics, which altogether forge new milestones towards organ regeneration. 

To highlight recent progress and emerging trends on biointerface engineering (at molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, or organismal levels) for regenerative medicine, Cell Regeneration is inviting submissions to its upcoming special issue on “Engineering biointerface for organ regeneration”.

We will especially welcome Research, Method and Review submissions, including (but not limited to) the following areas:

  • Engineering biointerface for stem cell manufacturing
  • Engineering biointerface for stem cell fate control
  • Engineering biointerface for reconstructing tissue and organ complexity
  • Active scaffolds for guided regeneration
  • Engineering biointerface for immunomodulation and regeneration
  • Engineering biointerface for neuromodulation and regeneration
  • Engineered cells for tissue and organ regeneration
  • Artificial tissues and organs with engineered biointerface
  • Organ-on-a-chip models of tissue regeneration

The Editor-in-Chief of Cell Regeneration will review all submissions prior to peer review and may reject any of them that do not fit the scope of the journal or do not meet the journal's standards for peer review. All articles of Thematic Series will undergo full, independent peer review, in line with the journal's ethical and editorial policies, outlined in its submission guidelines. There is no guarantee of acceptance, even for commissioned or invited papers. The journal’s Editor-in-Chief has a final authority on editorial content.
