Special issue on The Future of Materiobiology
Published 14 May, 2024
Aim & Scope
Materiobiology, the interdisciplinary field frontiers of materials sciences, biology, chemistry, medicines, and biomedical engineering, is rapidly advancing as a discipline that provides innovative diagnostic technologies and therapeutic interventions for medical challenges in the upcoming aging of societies. It has been witnessed in the past few years, a notable convergence has occurred among materials scientists, biologists, clinicians, and engineers. Their distinct perspectives and research methodologies are to bear in crafting interdisciplinary solutions for aging-related diseases, with the collective aim of contributing to the clinical unmet needs.
Utilizing advancements in biomaterials and nanotechnology, materiobiology seeks to comprehensively investigate the interactions between biomaterials with diverse biological environments or systems to guide the design and implantation of tailored biomaterials to restore and strengthen the structures and functions of the targeted tissues. As a burgeoning research discipline that generates biomedical breakthroughs, more efforts are urgently needed to fully fulfill our current understanding and develop the functional integrated next generation of biomaterials for tissue repair and regeneration related to aging.
This special issue calls for Reviews, Perspectives and Research Articles that contribute to advanced interdisciplinary studies of disease diagnosis and treatment in the context of materiobiology, nanobiology and biomaterials. We are particularly interested in, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Functional-oriented multi-dimensional biomimetic material design specific for aging-related diseases.
- Artificial intelligence assisted in biomaterials design and development.
- Intelligent drug delivery systems and medical nanorobots.
- Therapeutic biomaterials for immune microenvironmental regulation.
- Diagnostic and theranostic probes for lesion boundary identification.
