Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition
http://www.springerlink.com/content/1568-5624/

The Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition publishes fundamental research on the proprties of polymeric biomaterials and the mechanisms of interaction between such biomaterials and living organisms, with attention being focused at the molecular and cellular levels. The journal publishes original research papers, short communications and review articles. The publication of this research is expected to contribute significantly to future progress in the practical applications of these substances. Biomaterials may be defined as materials which are used in contact with tissue, blood, cells, proteins and any other living substance. The Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, will deal with polymers, synthetic and natural, as the most versatile biomaterials, having wide-ranging applications in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and biological fields. For example, they may form the basis for tissue engineering and the development of artificial organs and non-thrombogenic materials, devices and systems for diagnosis and therapy, cell cultivation substrata, cell-sorters, membranes, adsorbents, biosensors and delivery systems for bioactive agents. The existing journals on biomaterials tend to publish papers which emphasize the applications of the science. The Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, seeks to redress the balance by providing an international forum primarily focused on fundamental biomaterials research. This has been added to Biological Informatics Subject Tracerâ„¢ Information Blog.
