Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials with specific immuno- and inflammation modulatory attributes in synergy with therapeutics, biologics, and tissue systems are extremely useful within clinical translation. Current biomaterials are mainly developed as drug carriers or inert scaffolds in tissue culture systems without any intrinsic functional attributes.
This Special Issue aims to introduce high-impact research articles focused on the development of functional biomaterials for specific disease therapy, drug delivery, and innate immune and inflammation modulatory systems. This Special Issue will compile high-impact research articles that guide the development of next-generation functional biomaterials.
