Robert Langer has spent more than 30 years working with biomaterials and has seen their development from simple implants to complex multifunctional interfaces with the body. He shares his vision ...

This course is an introduction to the field of biomaterials. The course will cover metal, ceramic, and polymeric implant materials, with an emphasis on structure-property relationships that enable ...

The different types of biomaterials and their classifications (inert, active and resorbable) are defined and key properties ...

cell-biomaterials interactions, artificial internal organs, endothelial cell biology, hemodynamic forces, atherosclerosis, genomics, signal transduction Computational biomechanics of bone-implant ...

The inflammatory response plays a major role in the body’s response to injury, disease, or implantation of a biomaterial. When the inflammatory response functions normally, it can be a powerful force ...

The orthopedic biomaterials are also called implants. Orthopedic biomaterials are implanted in the human body to perform biological functions by repairing or substituting the ligaments, tendons, bones ...

The biomaterial technology, called CITREGEN ... has a compressive strength comparable to cortical bone and maintains structural integrity during the healing phase, while allowing the implant to be ...

The team will continue to explore new or modified biomaterial designs that promote the presence of Thy-1 in fibroblasts. This ...

The team will continue to explore new or modified biomaterial designs that promote the presence of Thy-1 in fibroblasts. This could make implants that currently cause fibrosis become nonfibrotic ...

These developments have led to a broader range of applications, from simple medical implants to complex tissue engineering solutions. The supply of high-quality biomaterials has expanded through ...
