According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that each year
approximately 11 million people suffer from burn wounds, 180,000 of whom die because of …

Due to traffic accidents, injuries, burns, congenital malformations and other reasons, a large
number of patients with tissue or organ defects need urgent treatment every year. The …

Bone defects stand out as one of the greatest challenges of reconstructive surgery. Fused
deposition modelling (FDM) allows for the printing of 3D scaffolds tailored to the morphology …

Chronic wounds occur as a consequence of a prolonged inflammatory phase during the
healing process, which precludes skin regeneration. Typical treatment for chronic wounds …

Algae hold particular promise as a feedstock for biomaterials, as they are capable of
producing a wide variety of polymers with the properties required for 3D printing. However …

Biomaterials have been widely used in tissue engineering applications at an increasing rate
in recent years. The increased clinical demand for safe scaffolds, as well as the diversity and …

Polymer scaffolds constitute a very interesting strategy for tissue engineering. Even though
they are generally non-toxic, in some cases, they may not provide suitable support for cell …

Control of inflammation is indispensable for optimal oral wound healing and tissue
regeneration. Several biomaterials have been used to enhance the regenerative outcomes; …

Polysaccharides (PSA) have taken specific position among biomaterials for advanced
applications in medicine. Nevertheless, poor mechanical properties are known as the main …

Over the past decade, smart and functional biomaterials have escalated as one of the most
rapidly emerging fields in the life sciences because the performance of biomaterials could …
