Biomaterials, also known as biomedical materials, are a class of natural or artificially synthesized functional materials to contact and interact with living systems, which can be used to replace, repair, or induce the regeneration of cells, tissues, and organs. Biomaterials is focusing on various disciplines that are developing in the field of materials science while intersecting and penetrating with other fields. It involves the fields of engineering technology and management science; and contains synthetic materials, natural materials, monocomponent materials, composite materials, and hybrid materials that can combine with biological materials from living cells or natural tissues. Functional biomaterials can be widely applied for the repair of organs and tissues due to their outstanding properties.
Modern medicine is developing in the direction of regeneration and reconstruction of damaged human tissues and organs, restoration, and enhancement of biological functions with personalized and minimally invasive treatment. Traditional inanimate medical metals, polymers, bioceramics and other conventional materials can no longer meet the requirements of medical development. The new opportunities and challenges of biomedical materials science and engineering thus require the development of new functional biomaterials. Therefore, it is very important to strengthen the pre-clinical or clinical application research and popularization of biomedical materials, which would benefit the research of the repair of organs and tissues.
This Research Topic focuses on the function and mechanisms of biomaterials in the repair of organs and tissues. The goal of this Research Topic is to gather together cutting-edge research or views on different kinds of biomaterials in biomedical engineering, which might not only highlight research expertise in biomedical engineering of biomaterials but might also introduce new breakthroughs for regenerative medicine. In view of this, this research topic is expected to provide new research directions for the development of tissue repair biomaterials, which is conducive to the research and development of new biomaterials for repairing, maintaining, and promoting the repair of human tissues or organs.
Original research, perspectives, and reviews are welcomed. Subtopics may include but are not limited to:
• Application of biomaterials in Skin Tissue Repair
• Application of Biomaterials in Bone Tissue Repair
• Application of biomaterials in Wound Healing
• Application of biomaterials in Tissue Repair
• Application of biomaterials in Organ Repair
