Biomaterials are one of the special material classes, of which natural or synthetic origin, that are used in the diagnosis or treatment of diseases. Biomaterials play a crucial role in augment, repair or regeneration of tissue function by interacting with biological tissue. The utilization of biomaterials in many applications such as drug delivery systems, imaging and antibacterial treatments, and the advantage of obtaining a dual effect bring interdisciplinary researchers together. In this special session, the researchers specialized in different fields of biomaterials will reunite to discuss the current issues and to share recent improvements in biomaterials science.
