Nanostructured materials have become pivotal in advancing the field of tissue regeneration, demonstrating remarkable potential to improve the precision, efficacy, and outcomes of regenerative therapies. Defined by their nanoscale architecture, these materials exhibit unique properties such as enhanced mechanical strength, high surface area-to-volume ratio, and customizable chemical functionalities, making them ideal candidates for regenerating complex tissue structures.
One of the most significant advantages of using nanostructured materials in tissue regeneration is their ability to closely mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM), providing an optimal scaffold that supports cell attachment, growth, and differentiation. By engineering the surface of these materials with specific ligands, peptides, or growth factors, they can effectively modulate cellular behaviors and promote tissue-specific regeneration processes.
Furthermore, the versatility of nanostructured materials allows for the incorporation of bioactive molecules and controlled release systems. These materials can be designed to release signaling cues in response to physiological stimuli, ensuring the synchronized promotion of tissue regeneration cascades. This controlled release mechanism further enhances the regenerative potential by providing the necessary biological signals at precise moments during the healing process.
Overall, nanostructured materials represent a transformative tool in the field of tissue engineering, promising to revolutionize regenerative medicine strategies for a variety of tissues, including bone, cartilage, nerve, and skin. Therefore, this research topic seeks to compile a comprehensive, up-to-date collection of studies focusing on the application of nanostructured materials in tissue regeneration. We invite contributions in the form of Original Research Articles, Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Systematic Reviews, Perspectives, Commentaries, Data Notes, and Technical Notes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Research exploring the development and characterization of nanostructured materials that enhance cellular interaction, proliferation, and differentiation in tissue regeneration applications.
• Studies focusing on the incorporation of bioactive agents within nanostructured scaffolds to mimic ECM and promote specific regenerative pathways.
• Innovations in surface modification techniques of nanostructured materials, aimed at improving cell-material interactions and facilitating targeted tissue repair.
• Research on various types of nanostructures (e.g., nanofibers, nanogels) and their influence on mechanical properties, degradation rates, and bioactivity in scaffolding for tissue regeneration.
• Disease or condition-specific regenerative applications of nanostructured materials, such as those designed for osteogenesis, neurogenesis, or dermal regeneration, to enhance therapeutic effectiveness.
