Section Collection Information
Dear colleagues,
Nanomaterials are usually described as materials that a single unit is sized between 1 and 100 nm. Nanoscale materials are increasingly making a major impact on human health, and as they are used progressively more in diagnostic and therapeutic applications, they have the potential to revolutionize medicine. Nanoparticles have become popular in biomedical applications due to their small size, high surface area to volume ratio, tunable optical emission, and enhanced mechanical properties. The combination of biomaterials and nanotechnology are called nano biomaterials which can provide better opportunities to improve diagnosis and the treatment of diseases. Nano biomaterials can be made of organic or inorganic materials. Usually, organic biomaterials are either natural (cellulose, collagen, chitosan, starch) or synthetic polymers, such as Poly lactic acid, Poly vinyl alcohol, aliphatic polyester and the most common used inorganic materials are silicate, and carbon nanotube. Because of their unique biocompatibility, mechanical, electrical, biodegradability, and optical properties, nano biomaterials are considered great nominates for biological and biomedical applications such as drug delivery, wound healing, biosensors, and cancer therapy. Applying nano biomaterials in tissue engineering is one of the most recent cutting-edge areas where biodegradable materials provide unique surfaces for promoting the regeneration and reconstruction of human organs. This section collection is going to gather papers related to nanomaterials and their applications in tissue engineering.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
