Welcome to the premier issue of Journal of Biomaterials andTissue Enginnering, JBT, a new international peer-reviewedinter- and multidisciplinary journal that covers and integratesfundamental and applied research in the fields of biomaterialsscience and engineering, tissue engineering, and regenerativemedicine. As Cyril Stanley Smith stated sixty years ago:“a new journal should create a new grouping of readers; itshould serve as a medium of expression for a new combinationof authors; and it should serve as a focus for the integration oftypes of knowledge the relation of which is newly perceived.”Sharing the same goals, I would like to invite you to submityour manuscripts for review, encouraging scientists fromaround the world to publish their results in this exciting journal,a new forum to exchange knowledge and ideas in rapidlygrowing areas of scientific research.
