Cellular Responses to Nanomaterials with Biomedical Applications
Description
Nanotechnology applied to the biomedical field has gained great interest. Increasingly, many institutions and researchers have focused their effort on the development of nanogels, nanoparticles, and nanofibers, among others, for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, immune function, metabolism, neurodegeneration, etc. The study of the cellular response against nanomaterials is a very interesting topic to discuss.
This Special Issue invites authors to contribute original research and review articles that will illustrate and stimulate the advances in physiological processes that take place in tissue exposed to nanomaterials, such as cellular stress, adaptation mechanisms, immunological responses, biochemical pathways and cascades, pathologies, and clinical cases. We are particularly interested in manuscripts describing studies targeting cellular responses in tissues exposed to nanomaterials.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Biocompatibility of electrospun nanofibers, nanogels, nanoparticles, etc.
- In vitro or in vivo studies of nanomaterials
- Immunological response study to nanomaterials
- Nanomaterials for biomedical applications
- Biological testing of drug delivery systems
