We are now entering the third decade of the 21st century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the rapidly growing fields of bioengineering and biotechnology. New biomaterials designed with advanced features have been the driving force behind the applications in bioengineering and biotechnology fields. This annual collection, which highlights article submissions from our Editorial Board members, looks to explore new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of Biomaterials. The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions that describe the state of the art, outlining recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges. The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the biomaterials field, and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the field. This article collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.¨This Research Topic welcomes article submissions that provide an insight to subareas within the wider Biomaterials field (including, but not limited to):• Biomimetic and cell-interactive materials, • Nano-assembled systems: self-assembly and nano-biology including mechanobiology at nanoscale,• Novel materials for advanced biosensors and biomolecular electronics• Biomaterial vectors in cell, gene, and nucleic acid and drug delivery• Bio inks for advanced printing and manufacturing, including organoids• Anti-corrosion strategies in materials development• Emerging concepts of biocompatibility (hemocompatibility and tissue response),• Frontiers in biomaterials for regenerative medicine: fundamentals and applications• GMP production of biomaterials and scale up• Recent developments and perspectives in preclinical (animal) and clinical testing• Recent approvals of biomaterials in clinical use by regulatory agenciesThis collection is part of the 'Insights In' series which have been launched in other sections of the journal. Other titles in the series include:• Insights in Biofabrication 2022: Novel Developments, Current Challenges, and Future Perspectives• Insights in Bioprocess Engineering 2022: Novel Developments, Current Challenges, and Future Perspectives• Insights In Biosafety & Biosecurity 2022: Novel Developments, Current Challenges, and Future Perspectives• Insights in Nanobiotechnology 2022/2023: Novel Developments, Current Challenges, and Future Perspectives• Insights in Synthetic Biology 2022 / 2023: Novel Developments, Current Challenges, and Future Perspectives• Insights in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine 2022 / 2023: Novel Developments, Current Challenges, and Future Perspectives
