About this Research Topic
With the development of science and technology, nanomaterials are playing an increasingly important role in the development of bioengineering and biotechnology frontiers. Material-related DNA engineering, cell engineering, and animal cell engineering are extremely important and are focused on and researched. Materials biology is a new field of biological research that integrates science and engineering. It makes engineering modification of biology easier and more reliable. Materials biology is a discipline with engineering attributes, a biology discipline that combines traditional biotechnology and materials science. Traditional bioengineering and technology have been mainly applied in bioenergy, biomedicine, environmental governance, etc., while the development of materials science involves chemical synthesis, mass production, and high-end instruments. The rapid development of nanomaterials technology can be integrated with biotechnology. Material biology is the integration of these two technical expertise, which can achieve the promotion of the above-mentioned applications. Materials biology provides new solutions to problems in many fields. For example, environmental pollution, bioenergy, health and biomedicine, new materials, space exploration, etc. From a broader perspective, this science will also help us understand the mysteries of life. Therefore, the goal of this special issue is to develop new applications, new ideas and new strategies of nanomaterials in bioengineering and biotechnology-related fields, establish the relevant internal links between materials and biology, and further promote life science engineering.
