Summary
This issue focuses on the development of therapeutic approaches that combine stem/progenitor cells, growth factors and other bioactive agents with biomaterials and scaffolds to restore, maintain or improve tissue or organ function. Studies on the interactions between cells and constructs are also welcome, particularly where they advance our understanding of these processes or provide clear suggestions for improvements to existing systems. Papers presenting the design and fabrication of scaffolds will only be considered when these have been tested for their ability to support cells proliferation, migration and differentiation. Manuscripts addressing fundamental issues of stem cell biology, namely those related with stem cell plasticity, potency, etc., will be considered only if there is some discussion on potential strategies for their application in cell-based therapeutic approaches. Surface modification technologies and their effects on cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation are of interest to the journal.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Stem/progenitor cells in tissue engineering
- Regenerative medicine
- Regenerative pharmacology
- Cell therapy
- Bio-printing
- Surface modification
