I had a lot of trouble with the editor. The "mother-journal" (AEM) ofAdvanced Biomaterials planned to close the Advacend Biomaterials section to join this section with other Biomaterial-Wiley-journal sections to a new journal called Advanced Healthcare Materials.
However, despite previous negotiations, they closed Advanced Biomaterials now and not in the end of this year!
Thus, we will not have a special issue this year, I am afraid.
I just encourage you and your colleages to send your manuscripts to leading biomaterial journals such as Biomaterials and Acta Biomaterialia.
We will have a different and hopefully more reliable journal next year.
