摘要
Biomaterials research is undoubtedly one of the most exciting research fields of the past three decades.Thousands of papers have been published each year in this interdisciplinary research area,with the contribution of scientists from a variety of research fields,including but not limited to,physical and materials sciences,engineering,biology,and biomedicine.However,a practical world,one may ask the question:what is the ultimate goal of biomaterials research?This overarching question has led to the collaboration between a group of scientists and clinicians to launch this new journal–Biomaterials Translational.In spite of the complexity and cross-disciplinary nature of biomaterials research,we believe the advancement of innovative biomaterials should ultimately address the emerging needs in translational medicine.
