Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tissue engineering, currently in the medical field, has as a great challenge to develop research investigating new methods of treatments available in the face of injuries where reconstruction does not occur independently, with the objective of forming a new tissue with morphofunctional characteristics identical to the original tissue. This research, aiming at translational medicine, occurs in an interdisciplinary way within the medical area in various pathologies. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to confront scientific barriers with innovations in polymeric materials, from their production, development, and pre-clinical and clinical studies, of natural or synthetic origin, which bring positive and beneficial effects from the bench to the bed.
This Special Issue is dedicated to reviews, meta-analyses, clinical, and preclinical studies of the different uses of polymers in medicine.
