Bioactive Nanomaterials for Facilitated Tissue Regeneration

Bioactive nanomaterials represent one of the most versatile and chemically diverse families of materials employed in biomedical engineering. Due to their unique structures, promising biological properties and potential for cost-effective production, bioactive nanomaterials have been extensively studied and used in numerous tissue engineering and regenerative medicine technologies, such as scaffolds, drug delivery systems, biosensors, and implant coatings, etc. Advanced material design, synthesis, characterization, and modeling of such material systems across various fields of regenerative medicine may share common interests in the fundamental understanding and novel applications of bioactive nanomaterials employed in vivo and in vitro. This Special Issue aims to highlight and compile the latest advances in theoretical and experimental research to promote innovation and technological progress in the development of functional bioactive nanomaterials.

New bioactive nanomaterials are still continuously synthesized and explored for wide applications with improved regenerative capacity. Thus, there is a clear and urgent need, from both the experimental and theoretical sides, to understand the fundamental mechanisms and performance of bioactive nanomaterials applied in different regenerative strategies.
