About this Research Topic
This research topic aims to explore the various achievements in the field of smart nanomaterials for disease treatment and injury repair. The objective is to gather experts specializing in hydrogel, light-cured materials, 3D DNA origami, and blood-cell-based drug carriers to discuss the application of these advancements in major disease treatments such as tumor therapy, bone repair, and teeth restoration. Additionally, we encourage the inclusion of topics related to the current status, general trends, challenges, strategies, and future directions of environmentally-responsive biomaterial construction technology, as well as highlight current and emerging biomaterials platforms with potential medical applications. Both Original Research articles and Review articles are welcome. Preferred subtopics include but are not limited to:
• Controlled-release Drug-delivery systems
• Stimuli-responsive materials for organ-on-a-chip
• Stimuli-responsive materials for biocompatible implants and prosthetics
• Stimuli-responsive materials for wound healing and regeneration
• Stimuli-responsive materials for bone and cartilage repair
• Stimuli-responsive materials for nerve regeneration
• Stimuli-responsive hydrogels
Keywords: Biomedical Materials, microenvironmental stimuli, Disease Treatment, Injury Repair, nanomedicine, targeted release, release mechanism
