Nanobiotechnology and Biofabrication
A section of Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354).
Section Information
"Nanobiotechnology and Biofabrication" explores the intersection of cutting-edge technologies applied to biological systems, focusing on the manipulation of materials at the nanoscale (1–100 nm). Nanobiotechnology includes modifying natural biopolymers and engineering synthetic nano-objects like nanoparticles, nanoplates, and nanofibers within a biotechnological framework. Both 3D printing and bioprinting, which are evolving fields in biofabrication, play key roles in constructing functional tissues and structures. These technologies are crucial for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and food science, where nanotechnology, biopolymers, and bioprinting offer innovative solutions to complex biological challenges. The convergence of these fields promises advances in creating biocompatible scaffolds for tissue growth, developing organ-on-chip systems, and personalizing medical treatments with increasing precision and functionality. Biofabrication is integral to achieving scalable, controlled biological architectures, significantly impacting healthcare, biology, and material science.
