About this Research Topic
Nanomaterials have gained significant attention in the field of tissue engineering due to their unique properties and their ability to mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) of tissues. Tissue engineering aims to develop functional biological substitutes to repair or replace damaged or lost tissue. Nanomaterials play a crucial role in this endeavor by providing improved scaffolds, drug delivery systems, and diagnostic tools. The integration of nanotechnology into tissue engineering offers several advantages, such as enhanced control over cellular behavior, improved drug delivery systems, and the development of more biocompatible and functional tissue scaffolds.
The primary goal of incorporating nanomaterials into tissue engineering is to enhance the development and functionality of engineered tissues and organs. Tissue engineering deals with the fabrication of different scaffolds. Different methods like electrospinning, freeze drying and 3D printing techniques are used for scaffold fabrication. Mimicking EMC is an important goal of tissue engineering. Addressing various areas like cardiac tissues engineering, wound healing, cartilage tissue etc are very important.
This Research Topic will focus on the application of nanomaterials for the improved healing of damaged tissues. Scaffolds incorporated with nanomaterials, drugs and growth factors will be used for regenerative medicine.
The field of tissue engineering has a wide and evolving scope with the potential to address numerous challenges in medicine and healthcare. Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, materials science, engineering, and medicine to create functional biological tissues and organs.
We invite the submission of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
• Cartilage tissue engineering
• Scaffolds for wound healing
• Hydrogels for tissue engineering
• Scaffolds mimicking ECM
• Stem cells in tissue engineering
