This special issue presents major advancements in the treatment or diagnosis of circulatory diseases, primarily through the utilisation of smart biomaterials. In particular, this special issue has a focus on therapeutic approaches to diseases of the circulatory system using relevant smart materials and covers, but not limited to:
- Bioactive artificial vascular grafts
- Cardiac valves
- Cardiovascular stents
- Extracorporeal circulation devices
- Pro-angiogenic drug/ polypeptide /biomaterials
- Imaging and drug delivery for circulatory diseases based on nanomaterials;
- Clinic evaluation and translational research of new device or biomaterials
We appeal to scientific and clinical researchers within the fields of smart devices/scaffolds/material fabrication, in vitro/vivo evaluation, pre-clinical and clinical studies and multidisciplinary studies to submit their manuscripts.
