Since 2012 Advanced Healthcare Materials has been bringing you the latest breakthroughs in biomedical materials science with a strong focus on improving human health. It will continue to do so in 2018. We have therefore launched virtual issues on five hot topics in the field, where you can access some of our best recent papers free of charge!

Patient‐Specific Bioinks for 3D Bioprinting of Tissue Engineering Scaffolds
by Negar Faramarzi, Iman K. Yazdi, Mahboubeh Nabavinia, Andrea Gemma, Adele Fanelli, Andrea Caizzone, Leon M. Ptaszek, Indranil Sinha, Ali Khademhosseini, Jeremy N. Ruskin and Ali Tamayol
In this article by Ali Tamayol and co‐workers, alginate‐based bioinks are developed that carry platelet rich plasma (PRP) as a source of growth factors and are compatible with commercial bioprinters. The use of autologous PRP in the bioinks is an important step towards bioprinting patient specific tissues and scaffolds.

Healing of chronic wounds is challenging because of the imbalance of growth factors and common occurrence of infection. In their article, Svetlana A. Sukhishvili and co‐workers develop a dual‐releasing, multiscale system of biodegradable nanofibers to simultaneously accelerate wound healing and mitigate bacterial infection. A unique strategy of submicron topography provided by the surface‐bound polymer micelles enables accelerated wound healing and supported localized delivery of antibiotics.
