Most-cited papers in Biomedical Materials

Stimuli-responsive polymers and their applications in drug delivery

Priya Bawa, Viness Pillay, Yahya E. Choonara et al. · 5 Mar 2009

Interest in stimuli-responsive polymers is steadily gaining increasing momentum especially in the fields of controlled and self-regulated drug delivery. Delivery systems based on these polymers are developed to closely resemble the normal physiological process of the diseased state ensuring optimum drug release according to the physiological need. Also termed 'environmental-sensitive' or 'smart', these polymers experience…

Electrospun nanofiber scaffolds: engineering soft tissues

Sangamesh G. Kumbar, Roshan James, Syam P. Nukavarapu et al. · 8 Aug 2008

Electrospinning has emerged to be a simple, elegant and scalable technique to fabricate polymeric nanofibers. Pure polymers as well as blends and composites of both natural and synthetics have been successfully electrospun into nanofiber matrices. Physiochemical properties of nanofiber matrices can be controlled by manipulating electrospinning parameters to meet the requirements of a specific application.…

Influence of surface wettability on competitive protein adsorption and initial attachment of osteoblasts

Jianhua Wei, Toshio Igarashi, Naoto Okumori et al. · 15 Jun 2009

This study investigated the influence of surface wettability on competitive protein adsorption and the initial attachment of osteoblasts. A thin-film coating of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and subsequent O(2)-plasma treatment was carried out on substrates with a mirror surface in order to create a wide range of wettabilities. The adsorption behavior of fibronectin (Fn) and albumin (Alb)…

Dynamics of<i>in vitro</i>polymer degradation of polycaprolactone-based scaffolds: accelerated versus simulated physiological conditions

C. X. F. Lam, M. M. Savalani, Swee‐Hin Teoh et al. · 8 Aug 2008

The increasing use of biodegradable devices in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine means it is essential to study and understand their degradation behaviour. Accelerated degradation systems aim to achieve similar degradation profiles within a shorter period of time, compared with standard conditions. However, these conditions only partially mimic the actual situation, and subsequent analyses and…

A review on macrophage responses to biomaterials

Zhidao Xia, James T. Triffitt · 1 Mar 2006

Macrophages are the dominant infiltrating cells that respond rapidly to biomaterial implantation in soft and hard tissues. These cells and their fused morphologic variants, multinucleated giant cells or foreign body giant cells, usually remain at biomaterial-tissue interfaces for the lifetime of the device in vivo. As a component of the immune system, macrophage activities are…

Biomedical Materials template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biomedical Materials format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biomedical Materials template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biomedical Materials use?
Biomedical Materials uses Numbered (IOP) 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 and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Biomedical Materials 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biomedical Materials?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Biomedical Materials 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 Biomedical Materials template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biomedical Materials format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Biomedical Materials?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Biomedical Materials PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biomedical Materials template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biomedical Materials template cost?
You can start writing in the Biomedical Materials template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biomedical Materials PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
