Manuscript Submission Requirements Checklist
Please check the following before completing your submission.
Cover Letter
A complete letter to the editor should accompany the manuscript. The required items are listed below.

Manuscripts should be organized by sections and sub-sections. Arrange the sections as follows:
Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Experimental (Materials and Methods), Results, Discussion, Conclusions, Supporting information paragraph (if any), Acknowledgments (optional), References, Table of Contents graphic.
Figures and Tables
Figures and Tables should preferably be embedded within the manuscript text, near their first mention. It is also acceptable, but not necessary, to include them at the end of the manuscript uploaded as “Graphic for manuscript” (acceptable software tif or pdf).
Artwork should be provided at the size at which it will published in the journal, i.e., maximum 3.25 inches or 8.25 cm wide for one column.
Each graphic should be clearly labeled and include a brief caption.
Provide a Table of Contents graphic (TOC) at the end of the manuscript, either included in the manuscript file or uploaded separately as “Graphic for manuscript”.

The references should adhere to the format and style of ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering: proper arrangement and punctuation, bold and italic font, full-page ranges.
Include journal article titles.
Use the CASSI abbreviations for journal titles (http://cassi.cas.org/search.jsp).
Notes/comments are not accepted in the list of references.
All author names should be included (“et al.” is not accepted).

Human and Animal Rights and Informed Consent Statement
Papers reporting data from experiments on live animals must include a statement identifying the approving committee and certifying that such experiments were performed in accordance with all national or local guidelines and regulations. Results from experiments involving humans or tissue samples must additionally include a statement that informed consent was obtained from the subject or from the next of kin.
Supporting Information, SI (if any)
The supplementary material should be uploaded separately as “Supporting information for publication” (PDF preferred).
SI should be formatted with a cover sheet listing authors, manuscript title, and the number of pages, figures, and tables.
SI pages must be numbered consecutively, starting with page S1.
Tables and Figures should be numbered Table S1-Sn and Figure S1-Sn.
A paragraph describing the SI should be included in the manuscript and placed after the Conclusions:
