Advanced Materials for Biomedical Applications, Editorial Article.

This editorial article discusses advanced materials (AMs) and their significance in biomedical applications. AMs are materials that have improved properties compared to common counterparts and can be homogeneous or heterogeneous structures at the molecular level. They are characterized by their size, which is measured on the nanometric and micrometric scales. The development of AMs dates back to ancient times, with examples such as bronze and gold alloys. In recent years, AMs have become a focus of research in various fields, particularly in biomedical applications. The goal of this special issue is to bring together advances in material development for areas such as wound healing, cancer treatment, biosensing, and drug delivery, with the aim of improving patients' quality of life and saving lives worldwide.
