Artificial Organs

Artificial Organs publishes original and innovative research articles focused on transdisciplinary convergence research, development, innovation, clinical translation, and application of artificial organs. The journal defines 'artificial organ' as a synthetic device or a tissue that integrates into and interfaces with a living organism to replace, recover, regenerate, and enhance its structure and/or function. Artificial Organs, therefore, encompasses full spectrum of organ replacement, recovery, and regeneration for ALL genders and generations. The ever-evolving scope of the journal currently includes but is not limited to the following:

Cardiac
 • Mechanical circulatory support and replacement
 • Extracorporeal life support
