Regenerative medicine is an emerging discipline profoundly changing the therapeutic model of trauma and tissue or organ defects, which aims to construct organisms to replace lost or dysfunctional tissues based on engineering methods. Generally, the seeded cells, scaffolds as well as growth factors are regarded as crucial parts of tissue engineering research. Herein, a scaffold is an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM), providing a supportive environment for the recruitment, proliferation, and differentiation of the seeded cells and the formation of new tissues. Although invisible to the naked eye, micro/nano-structures deeply affect cell behaviors via surface binding or morphological cellular regulation. Besides, the emerging new preparation techniques (e.g. electrospinning, microfluidics, and 3D printing) may endow micro/nano-materials with sophisticated multi-level structures and multi-functions to further benefit tissue regeneration.
This Research Topic focuses on the construction of biomimetic scaffolds by novel micro/nano-material techniques for the repair of organs and tissues.
