With the aging of the population and the loss of soft tissues caused by congenital defects, trauma and disease, the demand for skin and soft tissues repair, replacement and regeneration continues to grow, leading to the rapid development of new methods and biomaterials of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It contains a variety of technical methods, including the use of soluble molecules, biomaterial, tissue engineering, gene therapy, stem cell transplantation, and reprogramming of cell and tissue types. Moreover, the production or regeneration of skin and soft tissue substitutes is a very complex process that requires a combination of multiple tissue engineering strategies, including the development of multiple functional biomaterials, the delivery of active factors, the delivery of biochemical signals, and immunomodulation, etc.
Soft tissue injury caused by chronic disease, trauma and congenital defects is an emerging challenge for modern medicine. There is no consensus on how to treat and what to choose for soft tissue injury therefore we set up this Research Topic with the aim to collect new technologies, new methods and new developments which will help clarify the current new developments of biomaterial in skin and soft tissue repair and regeneration.
This Research Topic proposes to publish Original Research and Review articles, Mini-Reviews and Opinions on potential topics, including but not limited to:
• Sustainable biomass materials
• Soft tissue repair technology, drug/cell/RNA/DNA delivery, tissue engineering and veterinary applications
• Hybrid materials, responsive materials, biological materials, hydrogels, aerogels and xerogels
• Sustainable functional composites and nanocomposites, graphene and metal oxides
• Autologous/allogeneic biological tissues, dermal matrix scaffolds, synthetic scaffold materials, soft tissue filling/regeneration materials
• Additive manufacturing, microfluidics and 3D/4D printing/bioprinting
• Cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, biopolymer materials
• Attached with growth factors, cells, RNA, DNA, proteins and other tissue reconstruction materials
