In recent times, the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
(TERM) has considerably increased the extent of therapeutic strategies for
clinical application in orthopedics. However, TERM approaches have its rules and
requirements, in the respect of the biologic response of each tissue and bioactive
agents which need to be considered, respected, and subject of ongoing studies.
Different medical devices/products have been prematurely available on the market
and used in clinics with limited success. However, other therapeutics, when used in
a serious and evidence-based approach, have achieved considerable success, considering

Marine invasion genomics: Revealing ecological and evolutionary consequences of biological invasions
Genomic approaches are increasingly being used to study biological invasions. Here, we first analyse how high-throughput sequencing has aided our understanding of the mechanisms associated with biological invasions. These include the transport of propagules to pre-invaded areas, an exploration of the consequences of hybridisation during range expansions, and the pre- and post- invasion adaptation of colonising populations. We then explore how contemporary genomic methods have been used to probe and monitor the spread of non-indigenous species. More specifically, we focus on the detection of species richness from environmental samples, measures of quantitative traits that may promote invasive- ness, analysis of rapid adaptation, and the study of phenotypic plasticity. Finally, we look to the future, exploring how genomic approaches will assist future biodiversity conservationists in their efforts to mitigate the spread and effects of biological invasions. Ultimately, although the use of genomic tools to study non-indigenous species has so far been rather limited, studies to date indicate that genomic tools offer unparalleled research opportunities to continually improve our understanding of marine biological invasion
