Editorial

I found this is a good chance to introduce my latest scientific achievements in relation to advances in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, but I preferred to start with the justifications of my nomination by the Council of Menoufia University, Egypt to Award of Nano Science Research Excellence (NML Researcher Award for outstanding researcher in Nanotechnology) and then present synopsis about my scientific achievements in this field.

Summary of Prof. Laila Montaser justifications of its outstanding nature as follows:

For the advancement of Stem cell and Nano science in developing countries to introduce her outstanding contributions to the application of science and technology and scientific research achievements of outstanding significance for the development of scientific thought through her leadership of researches since more than 17 years in the field of stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology and tissue engineering.^1–7
For her contributions to understanding of stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology and tissue engineering based her in-depth experimental investigations and her contribution by series of oral presentations and lectures in the Faculty to Clinical Pathology students and staff and also in local and international conferences.^8–13
About the advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, Prof. Montaser represented Egypt and Menoufia Universty and also presented Montaser et al prospective pilot researches in two successive SPIE Nano science + Engineering 2015 and 2016 Conferences at San Diego, California, USA under the titles " NANO scaffolds and stem cell therapy in liver tissue engineering" and " Articular cartilage tissue engineering with plasma-rich in growth factors and stem cells with Nano scaffolds" respectively.^14–19
According to her outstanding contribution to the application of science and technology and scientific research achievement of outstanding significance for the development of scientific thought through her leadership of researches in the field of stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology and tissue engineering in many Master Science and MD theses.^20–22
Laila Montaser organized a workshop on regenerative medicine, stem cell, nanotechnology and tissue engineering “SRNT” on 12-13 April 2016 at the Clinical pathology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, Egypt. The aim of the workshop was to promote the sharing of good practices and transnational cooperation in the field of the application of Stem Cell, Regenerative Medicine, Nano Technology, Tissue Engineering and ICT in Science Education learning and training. In two days, approximately 100 as academic staff, Head of Departments of Clinical Pathology, students participated in the workshop.^23–25

On the two days of the workshop, the key note speakers gave speeches on stem cell, regenerative medicine, nanoscience, nanotechnology and tissue engineering. Prof. Laila Mahmoud Montaser highlighted the importance of nanoscience literacy with her presentation titled “An attempt to improve Nano science literacy and awareness: A Nano science workshop for students and teachers”. Other key note speaker, Ass. Prof. Ming Ming Wen touched upon how to use Nano science in drug delivery application with her presentation “Nanotechnology in drug delivery application.” Another presentation titled “Nanotechnology in engineering stem cells and liver tissues” made by Prof. Laila Montaser, also a presentation titled "Application of Nanotechnology in Biology" was made by Ass. Prof. Tahsin Shoala and a presentation titled “Stem cell secrets” was made by Prof. Mohamed Ibrahim Sayed Ahmed.

Even though the term and topics of Nanotechnology were very new and innovative for the students, they were open to learn and had positive attitudes since they can easily connect with the real life experiences.
