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.
