Most-cited papers in Biomimetics

Metal Oxide Nanoparticles as Biomedical Materials

Maria P. Nikolova, Murthy Chavali · 8 Jun 2020

The development of new nanomaterials with high biomedical performance and low toxicity is essential to obtain more efficient therapy and precise diagnostic tools and devices. Recently, scientists often face issues of balancing between positive therapeutic effects of metal oxide nanoparticles and their toxic side effects. In this review, considering metal oxide nanoparticles as important technological…

The Role of the Extracellular Matrix (ECM) in Wound Healing: A Review

Robert B. Diller, Aaron J. Tabor · 1 Jul 2022

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a 3-dimensional structure and an essential component in all human tissues. It is comprised of varying proteins, including collagens, elastin, and smaller quantities of structural proteins. Studies have demonstrated the ECM aids in cellular adherence, tissue anchoring, cellular signaling, and recruitment of cells. During times of integumentary injury or damage,…

Cellulases: From Bioactivity to a Variety of Industrial Applications

Uroosa Ejaz, Muhammad Sohail, Abdelaziz Ghanemi · 4 Jul 2021

Utilization of microbial enzymes has been widely reported for centuries, but the commercial use of enzymes has been recently adopted. Particularly, cellulases have been utilized in various commercial sectors including agriculture, brewing, laundry, pulp and paper and textile industry. Cellulases of microbial origin have shown their potential application in various commercial sectors including textile, pulp…

Subtraction-Average-Based Optimizer: A New Swarm-Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithm for Solving Optimization Problems

Pavel Trojovský, Mohammad Dehghani · 6 Apr 2023

This paper presents a new evolutionary-based approach called a Subtraction-Average-Based Optimizer (SABO) for solving optimization problems. The fundamental inspiration of the proposed SABO is to use the subtraction average of searcher agents to update the position of population members in the search space. The different steps of the SABO's implementation are described and then mathematically…

Distract Your Attention: Multi-Head Cross Attention Network for Facial Expression Recognition

Zhengyao Wen, Wenzhong Lin, Tao Wang et al. · 11 May 2023

This paper presents a novel facial expression recognition network, called Distract your Attention Network (DAN). Our method is based on two key observations in biological visual perception. Firstly, multiple facial expression classes share inherently similar underlying facial appearance, and their differences could be subtle. Secondly, facial expressions simultaneously exhibit themselves through multiple facial regions, and…

Biomimetics template — frequently asked questions

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