Dynamic Nano-Biomaterials in Tissue Regeneration and Cancer Therapies

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the trends in dynamic nanomaterials' response to cell engineering have led to novel tissue remodelling approaches to better understand cell regulatory mechanisms and related applications. Specifically, the combination of novel biomaterial-associated systems and techniques in regenerative tissue approaches allows for us to monitor the cellular response during material applications. Moreover, the tissue-specific micro-environment surrounding cells is dynamic rather than static. Taking advantage of various biomaterials and cell-specific modulatory functions, we aimed to focus this Topic on using dynamic nanomaterials in tissue remodelling and drug delivery functions for various biomedical applications. Ultimately, our approach invites papers in biomaterials modulation of cell fate decision/drug delivery using dynamically engineered biomaterials, giving a novel conceptual approach to regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy, immune modulation, and cancer therapies. Our vision is to provide a suitable platform for novel biological insights into biomaterials' role in cell engineering, cell–material interactions, extracellular matrix modulation, stem cell biology, novel drug delivery, stimuli-responsive drug delivery, and cancer-targeted delivery therapies. This Topic will also present the importance of advanced nanomaterials and functional material platforms for cell, nano, healthcare, and materials technologists looking to publish papers related to nanoengineering attributes. Finally, this Topic will examine the emerging aspects of dynamic biomaterials and their advanced applications, focusing on tissue engineering and drug delivery.
