Nanoparticle-Based Drug Delivery for Tissue Repair
Tissue engineering is an important area of research and development for future therapies of regenerative medicine, which aims to repair or replace damaged tissues due to injury or degenerative disease. Nanoparticles are convenient modalities that can provide several benefits in the context of drug delivery in tissue engineering: (1) they can serve as depots that release bioactive compounds over time; (2) they can protect the bioactives from degradation in the wound environment; (3) given their small size, they can be easily incorporated into other existing biomaterials used in tissue engineering applications. This topical issue aims to assemble groundbreaking advances in the use of nanoparticles (including self-assembled structures) used as drug delivery systems that release bioactive compounds to promote cellular responses that drive repair and regenerative processes.
We accept all manuscripts (original research, review, commentary) that describe the design, manufacture, characterization, and use of nanoparticle and coacervate systems in the context of promoting cellular responses for tissue repair and/or regeneration.
Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at /page/nl/submission-guidelines. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript according to the following timetable.
