Why is it important?
This Special Issue presents eleven contributions submitted by scholars with renowned backgrounds in scaffolds design, fabrication, functionalization, or clinical applications; four of these contributions are valuable review articles, and seven are original new research articles. Thematically, according to the area of application, the contributions can be grouped into articles concerning the following: - Biomimetic scaffolds for bone and joint surgery; - Biomimetic scaffolds for maxillofacial surgery and oral surgery; - Biomimetic scaffolds for general surgery (i.e., hard- and soft tissue surgeries).
Perspectives
Special Issue on Biomimetic Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Surgery (i.e., four valuable review articles and seven new research articles) comprehensively summarize the latest achievements in the field, with a discussion of prospects and challenges for further research. Along with different proposed and developed novel biomaterials and 3D constructs of specific complementary properties that, through their biomechanical, biostructural, biochemical, biomimetic, and functional properties, possess great potential for assisting local tissue regeneration, the contributions of this Special Issue demonstrate remarkable advancements in this interesting and dynamically developing field.
