Macromolecular Biomaterials for Biomedical Technologies and Regenerative Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

The demand for macromolecular biomaterials and health-care related macromolecular materials for various medical applications has been increasing significantly across the globe over the last decade, and has been even more acute these days. This special issue is aimed at providing the recent advances in fundamental research on biological, physical and chemical sciences that underpin the design of biomaterials and its application in regenerative medicine, which include polymer synthesis and characterization, multi-material construct, drug and gene vector design, interaction between stem cell and scaffold, more precise mimic for biochemical and physical microenvironment in native tissues, versatile strategies for tissue and organ regeneration. All these techniques will present pioneering tools and paradigms for medical applications.

The special issue “Macromolecular Biomaterials for Biomedical Technologies and Regenerative Medicine” will provide significant reference and guideline for scholars  who work in inter-disciplinary areas of biomaterials, stem cells, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.

This special issue aims at expanding the current knowledge on new macromolecular biomaterials and on its potential medical applications. Research article on experimental studies, as well as review articles are all welcome for consideration.
