Dynamic Nano-Biomaterials in Tissue Remodeling and Drug Delivery

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, trends in dynamic nanomaterials' response to cell engineering have led to novel tissue remodeling approaches to understanding cell regulatory mechanisms and related applications better. Specifically, the combination of novel biomaterials-associated systems and techniques in regenerative tissue approaches allows us to monitor the cellular response during materials applications. Moreover, the tissue-specific micro-environment surrounding cells is a dynamic rather than static condition. Taking advantage of various biomaterials and cell-specific modulatory functions, we aimed to focus this Topic on the use of dynamic nanomaterials in tissue remodeling 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–materials 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 materials platforms for cell, nano-, healthcare, and materials technologists who are looking to publish papers related to nanoengineering attributes. Finally, the Topic will examine the emerging aspects of dynamic biomaterials and their advanced applications, focusing on tissue engineering and drug delivery for their outlook.
