Recent advances in 3D printing of biomaterials

Helena N. Chia, Benjamin M. Wu · 28 Feb 2015

3D Printing promises to produce complex biomedical devices according to computer design using patient-specific anatomical data. Since its initial use as pre-surgical visualization models and tooling molds, 3D Printing has slowly evolved to create one-of-a-kind devices, implants, scaffolds for tissue engineering, diagnostic platforms, and drug delivery systems. Fueled by the recent explosion in public interest…

Engineering BioBrick vectors from BioBrick parts

Reshma P Shetty, Drew Endy, Thomas F. Knight · 14 Apr 2008

BACKGROUND: The underlying goal of synthetic biology is to make the process of engineering biological systems easier. Recent work has focused on defining and developing standard biological parts. The technical standard that has gained the most traction in the synthetic biology community is the BioBrick standard for physical composition of genetic parts. Parts that conform…

Alginate-based hydrogels as drug delivery vehicles in cancer treatment and their applications in wound dressing and 3D bioprinting

Farhad Abasalizadeh, Sevil Vaghefi Moghaddam, Effat Alizadeh et al. · 13 Mar 2020

Hydrogels are a three-dimensional and crosslinked network of hydrophilic polymers. They can absorb a large amount of water or biological fluids, which leads to their swelling while maintaining their 3D structure without dissolving (Zhu and Marchant, Expert Rev Med Devices 8:607-626, 2011). Among the numerous polymers which have been utilized for the preparation of the…

BglBrick vectors and datasheets: A synthetic biology platform for gene expression

Taek Soon Lee, Rachel A. Krupa, Fuzhong Zhang et al. · 20 Sep 2011

BACKGROUND: As engineered biological systems become more complex, it is increasingly common to express multiple operons from different plasmids and inducible expression systems within a single host cell. Optimizing such systems often requires screening combinations of origins of replication, expression systems, and antibiotic markers. This procedure is hampered by a lack of quantitative data on…

BglBricks: A flexible standard for biological part assembly

J. Christopher Anderson, John E. Dueber, Mariana Leguía et al. · 1 Jan 2010

BACKGROUND: Standard biological parts, such as BioBricks parts, provide the foundation for a new engineering discipline that enables the design and construction of synthetic biological systems with a variety of applications in bioenergy, new materials, therapeutics, and environmental remediation. Although the original BioBricks assembly standard has found widespread use, it has several shortcomings that limit…

Journal of Biological Engineering template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Biological Engineering format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Biological Engineering template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Biological Engineering use?
Journal of Biological Engineering uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Journal of Biological Engineering. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Biological Engineering?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Journal of Biological Engineering document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Biological Engineering template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Biological Engineering format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Journal of Biological Engineering?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Biological Engineering PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Biological Engineering template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Biological Engineering template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Biological Engineering template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Biological Engineering PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
