Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To date, regeneration of chronic tympanic membrane perforations is considered standard care in patients with chronic otitis media (COM). Over the past few years, the development of new technologies such as tissue engineering, 3D printing, and bioprinting have been shown to result in better outcomes in terms of regeneration research. This has resulted in the use of a variety of scaffolds, stem cells, bioactive molecules, imaging modalities, and acousticomechanical analysis.
So far, the majority of studies have been limited to the research field. The number of clinical indications in which the tissue engineering approach is applied keeps expanding.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine will provide the current trends in regeneration of chronic tympanic membrane perforations.
