About this Research Topic
With their advantages of controlled delivery and modular flexibility, biomaterials have fundamentally revolutionized disease diagnosis and therapy. Bioactive nanomaterials are not simple miniaturizations of macroscopic materials. They exhibit unique and intrinsic bioactivities as they readily acquire a precise structure upon interaction with the biological environment. Nowadays, bioactive materials offer great potential in eliciting specific responses and regulations of living tissues for diagnostics, therapeutics, and regenerative medicine. We are optimistic that the increasing innovations and advances in bioactive and biomimetic materials with sophisticated bioactivities and controllable responsiveness will make an important contribution to the next generation of biomaterials and biomedical engineering.
The research topic aims to collect and disseminate state-of-the-art advances in biomaterials and biomedical engineering to a global audience. It generally covers the applications of new bioactive materials as drugs, cell/drug/gene carriers, imaging probes/devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds that provide diagnostic or therapeutic modalities for clinical practice. We hope that this research topic will promote the development of bioactive materials.
