About this Research Topic
Stem cells possess unique abilities to replicate and differentiate into various cell types. These remarkable capabilities designate them as a potential repair system for the human body and a promising therapeutic remedy for numerous diseases. However, obstacles hinder the advancement of these therapeutics, as single applications of stem cells do not always achieve satisfactory efficacy. Therefore, in stem cell-based medicine, bioengineering strategies are essential. These strategies enhance the effectiveness of stem cell therapy and promote their differentiation into complex tissues and organs.
Applied across various levels of complexity, stem cell bioengineering holds promise in tackling current challenges and advancing regenerative medicine. Thus, the objective of this research topic is to highlight advancements in stem cell bioengineering, encompassing tools, strategies, and design principles. Manuscripts focusing on both basic and preclinical studies are encouraged, with a priority for those investigating mechanism-based outcomes.
We welcome Original Research Articles, Reviews, Mini Reviews, and Methods, covering themes such as:
• Gene Editing: Genetic engineering techniques aimed at enhancing the therapeutic potential of stem cells.
• Chemicals and Biomaterials: Design, synthesis, and characterization of chemicals or biomimetic materials supporting stem cell growth, differentiation, and tissue regeneration.
• Tissue Engineering Strategies: Innovative approaches to engineer complex tissues and organs, including 3D bio-printing and organoid tissue development.
• Engineering Principle Advancements: Innovations in engineering principles to achieve improved outcomes.
These topics are not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions that explore other aspects of stem cell bioengineering.
