Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to promote scientific research in the field of gels, particularly in the biomedical field. The topics covered in this Special Issue may concern the use of biomaterials in medicine, surgery in all its facets (from regenerative to healing management), clinical studies, protocols, new proposals on pharmaceutical formulations and bioengineering studies and on the behavior of the latter. Furthermore, in regenerative surgery, it is necessary to report the growth factors and all the biomaterials that are used. With this Special Issue, we aim to promote new biomaterials in the biomedical field. Gels in the pharmacological, biomaterials, or even regenerative surgery fields are increasingly widespread. An important component (as opposed to the evolution in the medical field of gel materials) is represented by all those materials used for the field of aesthetic surgery. These, as well as being used in cosmetic surgery, could be used in general surgery, such as antibiotic gels, in maxillofacial surgery as a disinfectant gel, or even in dentistry as an etching gel or whitener. This Special Issue, therefore, aims to promote the dissemination and knowledge of all biomedical materials used in the therapeutic field.
