In this special issue, we seek to explore the materials technology in regenerative medicine that includes the materials on tissue engineering and bionano-sciences. We invite investigators to contribute original research articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts to explore aspects of cells, biomaterials and state-of-the-art biotechnologies for tissue and organ regeneration (i.e., bone, cartilage, blood vessels, teeth, skin, etc.). High quality critical reviews on the above areas will be considered for publication too. Topics of research can include but are not limited to:


• Artificial Organs
• Bioceramics/Biocomposite
• Biopolymers
• Biosensor
• Blood Derived Materials
• Cellular Therapy
• Cell/Tissue Engineering
• Drug/Gene Delivery System
• Maxillofacial Surgery
• Molecular Imaging
• Nanobiotechnology
• Stem Cells

       Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original and previously unpublished work. Authors should follow the JMBE manuscript format as described in the Information for Authors. An electronic file should be sent to the guest editor or submitted online at SUBMISSIONS. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed before their acceptance for publication. A general criterion of the review is whether the manuscript provides new insights and findings in the science and technology development associated with these areas. Deadline for paper submission is on April 30, 2012(pending). Author will be notified of final decision by September 30, 2012(pending)..

Special Issue on Smart Living in Healthcare and Innovations

       This special issue aims to investigate the smart living in healthcare applications and innovations. The smart living could be realized and intended to be a large-scale living lab experiment for many novel technologies and smart-living services, involving many people with these services, and then transforming these services and enriched experience to enabling relevant eco-systems. Thus, the smart living concepts could collaborate and share the key functions of entire healthcare value chain. However, there are still many challenging problems in improving the design, platform, model and service of smart living technologies employing healthcare concepts and techniques, and new problems are also emerging with new applications. Therefore, the issue will explore how individuals or hospitals can gain benefits by using healthcare innovations in real-world settings through exploitation of smart living technologies. It will also encourage research that uses empirical studies to present the fundamental theory, techniques, applications and practical experiences in the context of designing, implementing or evaluating the Living Labs that take advantage of advances in healthcare domain. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:


• Cloud healthcare
• Connected healthcare
• Interactive healthcare
• Design, implementation and evaluation of smart applications
• Ambient intelligence
• Intelligent healthcare
• Virtual healthcare

       Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original and previously unpublished work. Authors should follow the JMBE manuscript format as described in the Information for Authors. An electronic file should be sent to the guest editor or submitted online at SUBMISSIONS. Submitted paper will be carefully reviewed. Deadline for paper submission is on August 31, 2012. Author will be notified of final decision by October 31, 2012.

Special Issue on Intelligent Body Sensor Network Electronics for Healthy Living

       With aging of population it has also grown many chronic diseases, simultaneously. People should face up to this phenomenon and discover the required solution. Prevention is better than cure, and it is an important concept in current society. In recent years, body sensor network (BSN) has been employed in self-examination and bio-signal transmission between person and medical center by internet or wireless communication systems. The out-of/implantable body sensor network should face many challenges including the minimized antenna, sensor, noise reduction, bio-signal acquisition circuits, and wireless RF front-end circuits. This special issue on Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering aims to highlight current topics and major advances in biomedical engineering field. In this special issue, we seek to explore the material, sensors, electronics, circuits, systems, signal processing, and clinical trial in this emerging and exciting research field. We invite investigators to contribute original research articles on this issue. High quality critical reviews on the above areas will be considered for publication too. Topics of research can include but are not limited to:


A. Bioinspired Systems and Biosignal Transduction Processing
B. Biomedical Imaging Technologies & Implantable Electronics
C. BioMEMS/ Lab-on-chip
