Regenerative Engineering and Translational Medicine has been launched by Springer in partnership with the Regenerative Engineering Society (http://www.springer.com/materials/biomaterials/journal/40883). The new international journal will cover the convergence of tissue engineering, advanced materials science, stem cell research, the physical sciences, and developmental biology.

Papers on instructive biomaterials, stimuli-responsive biomaterials, micro- and nano-patterning for regenerative engineering, elastomeric biomaterials, hydrogels for tissue engineering, and rapid prototyping and bioprinting approaches are particularly welcome.
