Biomedical materials

In biomedical materials, “degradable” does not necessarily mean “suitable for implantation.” The fact that a material can degrade in vivo only indicates that it can be gradually broken down or absorbed. What truly determines its application value is how it degrades, what degradation ...

Aqueous systems run through both research and industry: waterborne formulations (coatings/adhesives/personal care), biomedical materials (dressings/drug delivery/tissue engineering), separation and water-treatment membranes, and electrolytes/ion-conducting materials, among others.

Dendrimers are polymeric macromolecules constructed from multiple monomers that are perfectly branched and radiate outward from a central core.

Advancements in dental restorative materials are fueled by the quest for biocompatible solutions that mimic natural appearance. Traditional dental materials, such as amalgam and composite resins, possess inherent drawbacks. Amalgam, despite its functionality, suffers from aesthetic deficiencies ...

Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is an effective combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The concept was first proposed more than 100 years ago by German scientist Paul Ehrlich. He likens ADCs to "wonder drugs" because they can clearly identify targets (cancer cells) without harming the ...

In the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, the design of biomaterial scaffolds that can reproduce the complex extracellular nature of living tissues in three dimensions is a challenging requirement. Hydrogels are a widely studied and developed class of synthetic extracellular ...

Bioorthogonal chemistry refers to a series of reactions that occur in a biological environment without affecting biomolecules or interfering with biochemical processes. For this purpose, the reaction must meet the following requirements: fast, efficient, and specific. • pH: The reaction must ...
