Soft Matter and Journal of Materials Chemistry have recently published a series of review articles as part of the joint themed issue on materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We’ve brought these articles together as they collectively make a great overview of this important and evolving area.
- Dense fibrillar collagen matrices for tissue repair
- Polyglycerol nanogels: highly functional scaffolds for biomedical applications
- Designing biomimetic scaffolds for bone regeneration: why aim for a copy of mature tissue properties if nature uses a different approach?
- Design of biomaterials to enhance stem cell survival when transplanted into the damaged central nervous system
- Biomaterials-based microfluidics for engineered tissue constructs
- Novel matrix based anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) regeneration
- Thermosets synthesized by thermal polyesterification for tissue engineering applications
- Biomaterials and their potential applications for dental tissue engineering
- Development of bone substitute materials: from ‘biocompatible’ to ‘instructive’
- Magnetic nanoparticles: biomedical applications and challenges
- The high functionalization of temperature-responsive culture dishes for establishing advanced cell sheet engineering
- Fiber-reinforced scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine: use of traditional textile substrates to nanofibrous arrays
- Design principles for polymers as substratum for adherent cells
- Sugars: burden or biomaterials of the future?
- Multimodal biomaterial strategies for regeneration of infarcted myocardium
- Biomaterials for stem cell differentiation
