Medical Application of Functional Biomaterials

Guest Editors: Message from the Guest Editors

Dr. Cristian Scheau The research field of functional biomaterials is evolving Department of Physiology, “Carol rapidly, as emerging technological discoveries and Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 innovations are considered for, and oen translated to, Bucharest, Romania medical applications. In order to be considered for use in [email protected] humans, any biomaterial needs to be proven safe, and when medical devices are made up of multiple materials, Prof. Dr. Andreea Didilescu demonstrating the implant’s biocompatibility can be a very Division of Embryology, Faculty difficult task. Therefore, an appropriate method to assess of Dental Medicine, “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and the safety and tolerance of an implant made up of one or Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, several biomaterials is to measure the host’s immune Romania response. [email protected] This Special Issue will host papers related to recent Prof. Dr. Constantin Caruntu developments in the field of medical applications of Department of Physiology, “Carol functional biomaterials. Topics will include but not be Davila” University of Medicine limited to: biocompatibility; immune response in medical and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania implants; advances in dental implant biomaterials; applications of nanoparticles; natural materials with [email protected] medical applications, [...]

Prof. Dr. Francesco Puoci The biomaterials field is one of the largest and fastest Dipartimento di Scienze growing research areas both in the scientific community Farmaceutiche, Università della and in the industrial one. Biomaterials are the result of Calabria, Edificio Polifunzionale, 87036 Arcavacata di Rende (CS), collaborations between different disciplines: chemistry, Italy medicine, pharmacology, engineering and biology. The objective of this collaboration is to lead to the implementation of new devices to restore form and human body functions. The mission of the Journal of Functional Biomaterials (JFB) is to focus attention on physico- chemical characteristics and their importance in the interactions between biomaterials and living tissues. JFB seeks to publish studies on the preparation, performance and use of biomaterials in biomedical devices, as well as regarding their behavior in physiological environments. We are pleased to welcome you as our authors.
