About this Research Topic
Bioengineering is a multidisciplinary and emerging approach aiming to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. A rapidly growing and ever-evolving field of study, bioengineering combines engineering and the life sciences in ways that advance scientific discovery, healthcare and medicine. Nano-biomaterials as the beating heart of bioengineering have various central roles. Nano-biomaterials have become a useful tool for medical applications for several reasons that include compatibility and novel effects due to the nanoscale features of the materials and devices. The possibilities to add biomaterials to the development of nanostructures have opened the door for innovative applications in several fields. Nanostructured materials for biomedical applications covers an extensive range of topics related to the processing, characterization, modeling, and biomedical applications of nanostructured ceramics, polymers, metals, composites, self-assembled materials, and macromolecules.
This Research Topic intends to include the most relevant work in biomedical applications of bioengineered nano-biomaterials, from state-of-the-art contributions to critical reviews on the topic which will highlight the new advances in this field with an emphasis on bioengineered nano-biomaterials design, fabrication, modification, and integration with different manufacturing techniques. We aim to address the potential of employing these powerful technologies in the bioengineering and what technical challenges need to be overcome? We welcome researchers working in this area, from academia and industries, to submit full-length research papers, short communication, and review articles to meet the goal of this collection.
For this Research Topic, we welcome researchers working in this area, from academia and industries, to submit Original Research articles, Research briefs, Reviews, Mini Reviews, Methods, Perspectives and Commentaries that focus on the following topics:
• Fabrication and characterization of 2D and 3D bioengineered nano-biomaterials bearing drugs.
• Fabrication and characterization of nano-biomaterials -based drug delivery systems.
• Investigating the molecular mechanisms behind drug release from bioengineered
• Evaluating the correlations between nanofeatures (e.g. surface topography, porosity, mechanical properties, functional groups) and molecular behaviours of the healing-involved cells and elements.
• Modifying the specific properties of bioengineered nano-biomaterials to manipulate a certain therapy step.
• Developing novel nanobiomaterials as the carrier for local and controlled
• Developing facile, fast, and efficient production process for nanobiomaterials.
• The application of modeling techniques such as molecular dynamics, docking, and quantitative structure–activity relationship models (QSAR models).
• Host response to nano-scale engineering materials and devices
