Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioengineering and biomaterials currently form a very broad field of research for researchers and clinicians who aim to have a close collaboration of the two disciplines. This interaction may be directed at exploring and solving numerous problems related to medicine and dentistry.
Innovative biomaterials must support the application and development of new engineering methods which are useful for understanding and studying the response of devices applied to medical science.
Research should be directed at implementing finite element models (FEMs) followed up by experimental validation, which will allow for their optimization.
Engineering design should also deal with the regulatory framework existing in the identified sector and with the technological problems relating to its effective application.
Recently, new tools, digital devices, 3D models, and bioengineering interfaces have marked a step forward in the development of new strategies for the treatment and health of patients. Although many studies have offered promising clinical results, the international literature is still focused on the creation of materials and new medical devices that can offer predictable clinical success over the long term for patients involved in surgical procedures.
With this Special Issue, we aim to provide a global overview of progress in bioengineering tools and devices applied to medical and clinical practice, underlining the aspects of all innovative solutions in collaboration with the PhD research in Bioengineering applied to Medical Sciences at the University of Messina.
For this Special Issue, research articles, review papers, and brief scientific reports on materials for implants and prosthetic devices (orthopedic, cardiovascular, and other applications), bioactive and cell instructive materials, nanostructured biomaterials and nanoparticles, scaffolds for tissue engineering, biomedical coatings and antibacterial surfaces, materials for drug delivery carriers, tissue/biomaterial interfaces, and studies on clinical applications of biomaterials are welcome.
On behalf of Materials, you are cordially invited to contribute an article to the Special Issue “Bioengineering Applied to Medical Sciences: Contributions from University of Messina in 2021”.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
