In recent years, the development and application of biomaterials in various fields of medicine have experienced a rapid growth trend. This is related to the in-depth study of disease mechanisms and the rapid development of materials science. At the same time, it also benefits from the increased collaboration between different disciplines. Regardless of the form in which the biomaterial is fabricated (e.g., scaffold, matrix, diaphragm, etc.), it must have a good functional fit to the target tissue and clinical purpose.
Good function adaptation can be achieved by biomaterial design. This adaptation is related to the mechanical properties, surface structure, internal porosity, material property itself, etc., because they directly affect the local cell response (such as cellular adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, etc.) for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
In addition to biomaterial design, drug delivery is another important way to produce functionally adapted biomaterials. With the common development of pharmacology and material science, the structure and function of drug-loaded biomaterials are becoming more diverse. However, this places greater demands on clinical transformation and application. By considering the material properties themselves, the form of drug delivery, the type of drug, and the mechanism, we can obtain biomaterials that are more suitable for the target repair tissue and the associated clinical application.
This study aims to develop functionally adapted biomaterials for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention that meet the needs of various tissues and their associated purpose, including novel material designs and drug delivery, especially with an in-depth mechanism study. We welcome contributions on the following topics ( articles, reviews, opinions, and observations ):
• Various types of biomaterials (including drug-loaded or non-drug loaded) with good functional adaptation for target tissues
• Effects of adjustable morphology materials on tissue adaptation, including microstructure of materials such as pore size, shape, interconnection, and arrangement
• Relationship between material adaptation and cell behaviors
• Physical and chemical factors affecting tissue adaptation of material
• Effects of material drug-loading on tissue adaptation
• Biomaterials accurately administered in time and space
• Mechanism of tissue adaptation biomaterials on different tissue reparation
• 3D and 4D printing for producing biomaterials with high tissue adaptation
• Various biomaterials with high tissue adaptation for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
