Summary
Nanomaterials and advanced biomaterials have emerged as transformative tools in cancer therapy, offering innovative solutions for targeted drug delivery, improved therapeutic efficacy, and reduced systemic toxicity. Recent advances in nanotechnology, hydrogel systems, bioengineered scaffolds, and nano-enabled delivery platforms have enabled precise control over drug release, enhanced tumor targeting, and improved therapeutic outcomes. These technologies play a critical role in addressing the limitations of conventional cancer treatments, including poor targeting efficiency, systemic side effects, and limited regenerative capacity.
In addition to cancer treatment, biomaterial-based platforms contribute significantly to tissue regeneration and post-treatment recovery. Nanoparticles, polymeric biomaterials, nanocomposite scaffolds, and bioengineered systems are increasingly used to support tissue repair, promote cell growth, and enhance regeneration in cancer-affected tissues.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in nanomaterials, biomaterials, and drug delivery systems for cancer therapy and regenerative medicine. Topics of interest include nanoparticle-based therapeutics, hydrogel-based drug delivery, scaffold-mediated therapy, nanotechnology-enabled cancer treatments, regenerative biomaterials, stem cell-based therapeutic strategies, and translational applications. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive platform for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of oncology, nanomedicine, and regenerative medicine.
