About this Research Topic
One of the fundamental elements of tissue engineering is the use of biomaterials, and new biomaterials and their combinations can be developed to create novel strategies for tissue manufacturing and regenerative medicine. The creation and use of tissue engineering biomaterials should take better control of the behaviour of the cells within the materials into account. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in new technology like 3D printers for creating biomaterials for tissue engineering.
This research topic includes the presentation of perspectives on the use of biofabricated structures to be used as models in the formation of tissues and organs. Although the production of organs has not been achieved yet, the increase in the degree of similarity of biofabricated structures to complex natural tissues and organs and the development of new technologies are promising. Biofabrication techniques have a profound impact on the future of medicine and healthcare, from drug discovery, screening, and the development of complex in vitro models of damaged tissues. This special issue on "Biofabricated materials for Tissue Engineering" covers significant and timely subjects such as the creation of controlled release systems employing biomaterial-based structures, hydrogels, polymer-based biocomposites, scaffold-free and scaffold-based constructs, biofabricated materials reinforced with medicines, extracts, and proteins, etc.
The creation of novel biomaterials and biofabricated constructs to promote increased cell attachment and penetration of cells and/or other proteins, as well as new biomaterial technologies for the prevention of low-level inflammation, are some of the features of this study area that should be highlighted. Tissue engineering will advance as these problems are solved, too, as progress is made in them. Additionally, new ideas are greatly influenced by developments in biomaterials. In order to do this, the "Biofabricated Materials for Tissue Engineering" study subject solicits research articles from scientists. Despite the fact that numerous scientists have examined tissue engineering in depth, there are still few applications and further research is needed.
The scope of this research topic includes the following sub-titles:
In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility,
In vitro and in vivo biodegradability,
Biofabricated scaffold-free and scaffold-based constructs,
Polymer-based biofabricated materials,
Biofabricated nanofibrous scaffolds,
Biofabricated nano/microparticles,
Biofabricated hydrogels,
Biofabricated membranes,
Biofabricated porous structures,
Development of controlled drug release systems with improved biomaterials, scaffolds, nanofibers, nanoparticles, hydrogels, etc.,
Biomaterials and biofabricated materials reinforced with antimicrobial agents.
With this unique issue we invite researchers to submit research articles to this special issue in order to establish a source of information on the function and advancement of biofabricated materials for tissue engineering.
