Silk as a biomaterial [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Polymer Science, 2007
Silks are fibrous proteins with remarkable mechanical properties produced in fiber form by silkworms and spiders. Silk fibers in the form of sutures have been used for centuries. Recently regenerated silk solutions have been used to form a variety of biomaterials, such as gels, sponges and films, for medical applications.

Immunomodulatory biomaterials

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2008
Vaccination is one of the most successful medical interventions for the prevention of disease in the twentieth century. However, with the development of new and less reactogenic vaccine antigens, which take advantage of molecular recombinant technologies, comes the need for more effective adjuvants that will facilitate the induction of adaptive immune ...

Living Biomaterials

Accounts of Chemical Research, 2017
Convergent advances in the fields of synthetic chemistry, soft matter, molecular self-assembly, and the -omics era point to a new generation of synthetic biomaterials that are indistinguishable in form and function from biological matter. Such living biomaterials comprise a "Holy Grail" of the chemical sciences that will transform both modern medicine ...

Metallic biomaterials

Journal of Artificial Organs, 2008
Ti alloys composed of nontoxic and allergy-free elements and Ni-free stainless steels and Co-Cr alloys are currently being developed. Ni-free Ti alloys exhibiting superelastic behavior, or the shape memory effect, are also being developed. beta-type Ti alloy with a low elastic modulus has proved to be effective for inhibiting bone absorption and ...

Zwitterionic Biomaterials

Chemical Reviews, 2022
The term "zwitterionic polymers" refers to polymers that bear a pair of oppositely charged groups in their repeating units. When these oppositely charged groups are equally distributed at the molecular level, the molecules exhibit an overall neutral charge with a strong hydration effect via ionic solvation.

On the nature of biomaterials

Biomaterials, 2009
The situations in which biomaterials are currently used are vastly different to those of just a decade ago. Although implantable medical devices are still immensely important, medical technologies now encompass a range of drug and gene delivery systems, tissue engineering and cell therapies, organ printing and cell patterning, nanotechnology based ...

Biomaterial Failure

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1992
One conclusion that might be drawn from a review of the role of biomaterial failure in total hip arthroplasty is that the fracture, wear, and corrosion of materials often serve as the primary causes of failure of hip replacements. It is not yet possible, however, to conclude the prevalence or time course of these failures.
