Future Science Group has announced the launch of the new peer-reviewed journal Bioelectronics in Medicine. The journal is an online and print publication bringing together research and opinion from all areas of the rapidly emerging new sector of bioelectronic neural prostheses.
Neural prostheses or neural stimulators are implantable devices that use electrical stimulation of neural tissue to provide therapeutic intervention, sensory feedback or improved motor control following trauma or disease.
The issue is opened by a Foreword from the Editor-in-Chief Professor Robert Shepherd and contains a variety of articles focused on bioelectronic medicine. An Editorial from Flavia Vitale and Brian Litt provides an introduction to the field with insights into how bioelectronic medicine is likely to develop and impact upon healthcare. In two further editorials, Ardell et al. discuss neuromodulation with respect to cardiology and Charles Henri Malbert highlights the potential role of vagus nerve stimulation in the treatment of diabetes. An interview with Paul-Peter Tak discusses his pioneering research with vagus nerve stimulation in the treatment of inflammatory conditions and trials of the therapy in rheumatoid arthritis.
The editorial office is now actively soliciting contributions of original research, reviews and perspective pieces for Bioelectronics in Medicine. The journal team is also looking to publish shorter pieces to spark the interest of the readers such as Editorials, Opinions, Commentaries, Interviews, Research Highlights, Conference Scenes and Company/Institutional/Organizational Profiles. Unsolicited article proposals are also welcome. Those interested in contributing to the journal, may contact Commissioning Editor, Sarah Jones at s.jones@futuremedicine.com.
