Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Biomaterials are being extensively used in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications, as these enhance tissue development and repair, and help in angiogenesis. Wound healing is a crucial biological process involving ruptured tissue regeneration after injury to the skin and other soft tissue in humans and animals. The research community is encouraged to share their expertise and expand knowledge by tackling new challenges in this Special Issue.
We welcome works that propose new biopolymer-based composite materials that can surpass the properties and performance of traditional synthetic materials, as well as offering environmental sustainability.
This Special Issue will publish innovative studies related to the use of biopolymer-based composites by focusing the aim of the contributions (article, review, research report, etc.) on their applications for in vitro, in vivo, and human wound healing fields.
Dr. Maria Helena de Melo Lima
