Bioengineering innovations in osteoarthritis treatment
Submission status
Open
Submission deadline
Osteoarthritis is a complex, degenerative joint disease and a leading cause for disability in adults, for which there is no curative treatment. This collection seeks submissions related to bioengineering approaches in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Examples of such approaches include, but are not limited to, intraarticular controlled/stimuli-responsive release systems, nanotechnologies for targeted drug delivery, bioengineered lubricants, cellular therapeutics, regenerative engineering approaches for joint tissues, immuno- and/or neuro-modulation strategies, and metabolic reprogramming. Advances in in-vitro models to gain mechanistic insights and inform/screen treatment strategies are also within the scope of this collection.
