Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to welcome you to this Special Issue on osteoarthritis and cartilage biologics. Osteoarthritis and cartilage injuries are a public health problem, highly disabling, have no cure, and represent an economic burden to the healthcare system.
Currently, there are no satisfactory treatments. Therefore advances in this area of orthopedic biologics, including cell therapy, are promising for promoting osteoarthritis healing and cartilage repair.
This Special Issue aims to cover the recent advances and emerging technologies on osteoarthritis and cartilage research, along with new treatments and drugs in orthobiologics, considering a wide range of therapies. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: orthopedic biologics, cell therapy and tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical formulations, and other innovative models.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Tiago Lazzaretti Fernandes
