Like other important scientific concepts that change over time, the notion of biocompatibility has evolved in conjunction with the continuing development of materials used in medical devices. Until ...

Osteosarcoma is the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. The current standard treatment ...

There was a lack of effective, cell-free biomaterials for bladder tissue regeneration that could reliably restore function without the complexities and risks of cell-seeded scaffolds. The breakthrough ...

Palo Alto, Calif. -- June 21, 2004--Researchers across the world are working toward biocompatibility by optimizing interactions that occur between implanted biomaterials and the host living tissue.

Researchers classify biomaterials in several ways: by their origin, how they interact with tissue, and their intrinsic material properties. Natural biomaterials, such as collagen, chitosan, and bone, ...

The team from the University of Nottingham's Schools of Pharmacy and Life Sciences have found that the surface shape (topography) and chemical composition of polymer materials can be changed to create ...

Biomaterials are materials used to build medical devices or implants/prostheses, meant to restore or replace lost or impaired body functions. They are derived from natural, synthetic or semi-synthetic ...
