This book gives an introduction to the highly interdisciplinary field of biomaterials. It concisely summarizes properties, synthesis and modification of materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers or composites. Characterization, in vitro and in vivo te
The rise in the resistance to antibiotics is due to their inappropriate use and the use of a broad spectrum of antibiotics. This has also contributed to the development of multidrug-resistant microorganisms, and due to the unavailability of suitable new
This classification aids in a more precise understanding of microsphere properties and applications, expanding the scope for research and development in the medical field. Natural polymers, derived from natural sources, are known for their exceptional biocompatibility, low toxicity, and biodegradability [...
The recent COVID-19 pandemic, which has hit the world, is third in the last two decades. The safety and precaution measures have led to the generation of a
Compositions and a general method are described to shorten the duration of common colds by administration of medicaments to and into the oral tissues, rather than to the nose, or by injection or by or
Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) not only provide a valuable source for treating various diseases but also play a significant role in the field of medicine. The active constituents of TCMs, the vast majority of which derived from plants (about 87%), are increasingly gaining popularity for the...
In the biomedical field, Polyisobutylene serves as a foundation for advanced elastomers in vascular grafts and drug delivery, notably enhancing bone cement's toughness and biocompatibility. Ongoing research aims to improve its stability and reduce infection risks in medical implants. Figure 1. ...
In recent years, many biologically derived materials have gained attention in the medical field (74). Inspired by the ability of natural spider silk to stop bleeding and promote wound healing, researchers hope to develop a new vascular graft. A significant drawback of today’s artificial blood ...
