Aim and Scope
Smart biomaterials for regenerative medicine are leading the medical revolution and showing great potential for precision therapeutics. At present, this type of material is developing rapidly, and stimuli-responsive hydrogels are typical examples, which can accurately release drugs or growth factors according to changes in physiological cues such as internal body temperature and pH value, and promote tissue repair. There are also smart nanomaterials, which can realize the precise regulation of cell behavior and provide strong support for the construction of functional tissues. In addition, significant progress has been made in the customized manufacturing of intelligent biomaterials based on 3D printing technology, which can meet the needs of complex tissue engineering. However, there are still many challenges in the application of smart biomaterials in regenerative medicine. The intelligence of materials is not high enough to make a comprehensive and accurate response to complex physiological environments. Biosafety and long-term stability also need to be improved to ensure that it does not cause adverse reactions in vivo and has long-lasting performance. Moreover, how to realize the efficient transformation of smart biomaterials from the laboratory to the clinic, and overcome the high cost and complex approval process, is also an urgent problem to be solved.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research advancements in the design, fabrication, characterization, and applications of intelligent biomaterials for precise regenerative therapies. Topics include but are not limited to the following:
(1) Smart biomaterials for dental and bone tissue regeneration
(2) Targeted, stimuli-responsive, or programmable drug delivery systems
(3) Functional micro/nanorobots or precision medicine
(4) Advanced fabrication and characterization of smart biomaterials
(5) Interactions between cells and smart biomaterials at different levels
(6) Host tissue response to smart biomaterials
