Recent advances in biofabrication and biomaterials science have enabled more accurate recapitulation of complex tissue microenvironments, and modern tissue engineering approaches expand upon the traditional paradigm by incorporating multiple materials over a range of architectural scales and by integrating biochemical and physical components that influence cellular behavior. This special issue highlights a breadth of strategies used to promote the regeneration of functional bone, cartilage, muscle, and skin and provides an overview of the diverse research that is driving the field forward.One notable strategy for bone tissue repair is the use of modified Ti or Ti-alloy implants. To increase the osteogenic capabilities of these materials and reduce the risk of infection, bifunctional elements can be added to micro-or nano-structured surface oxide coatings to alter surface physicochemical properties. A review outlining this progress in this field is included in this issue by Kaifu Huo et al.(2000681). Another interesting tactic for bone tissue repair is designing biomaterials that interact with the fracture hematoma formed upon injury to bone tissue. The effects of biomaterials on blood coagulation and hematoma characteristics are examined in a review article by Yin Xiao et al.(2000726), and perspectives on enhancing osteogenesis by regulating hematoma properties are provided. Similarly, neovascularization of de novo bone tissue is critical for tissue ingrowth and repair. An original article by Shengmin Zhang et al. highlights the leverage of a selective laser sintering technique to produce a porous polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite scaffold that enhances blood vessel formation and bone regeneration when VEGF is immobilized on the scaffold surface (2000727).
