We are now entering the third decade of the 21st century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the rapidly growing fields of bioengineering and biotechnology. New biomaterials designed with advanced features have been the driving force behind the applications in bioengineering and biotechnology fields. This annual collection, which highlights article submissions from our Editorial Board members, looks to explore new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of Biomaterials.
The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions that describe the state of the art, outlining recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges. The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the biomaterials field, and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the field. This article collection will inspire, inform, and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
This Research Topic welcomes article submissions that provide insight into subareas within the wider Biomaterials field (including, but not limited to):
• Biomimetic and cell-interactive materials
• Nano-assembled systems: self-assembly and nano-biology including mechanobiology at the nanoscale
• Novel materials for advanced biosensors and biomolecular electronics
• Biomaterial vectors in cell, gene, and nucleic acid and drug delivery
• Anti-corrosion strategies in materials development
• Emerging concepts of biocompatibility (hemocompatibility and tissue response),
• Frontiers in biomaterials for regenerative medicine: fundamentals and applications
• GMP production of biomaterials and scale-up
• Recent developments and perspectives in preclinical (animal) and clinical testing
• Recent approvals of biomaterials in clinical use by regulatory agencies
• Biomaterials for cultured meat production strategies
• Additive manufacturing of functional biomaterials
• Pico technology as a tool for receptor discovery and clinical translation
• Function of protein adsorption in foreign body reaction and biocompatibility
Keywords:
biomaterials, bioengineering, biotechnology, material design, biocompatability, clinical use, drug delivery systems, polymers, ceramics, metals and alloys
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
