The challenge to improve the response of biomaterials to the physiological environment.

چکیده
New applications of biomaterials often require advanced structures containing synthetic and natural components that are tuned to provide properties unique to a specific application. We discuss how structural characteristics of biomaterials, especially hydrophilic ones, can be used in conjunction with non-ideal thermodynamics to develop advanced medical systems. We show a number of examples of biocompatible, intelligent biomaterials that can be used for organ replacement, biosensors, precise drug delivery over days or weeks, and regenerative medicine.

متن کاملThe response of plasma glucose, lactate, protein and hematological parameters to osmotic challenge in common carp (Cyprinuscarpio)
Fluctuations in salinity impose stress on the physiology of the exposed fish population and can modify their structure. It has been noted that changes in blood characteristics and plasma levels serve as the primary link between environmental change and physiological response (McCormick, 2001). Ninety healthy adult Cyprinuscarpio (C. carpio) were randomly divided into five groups and kept in sal...
متن کاملVariablity of chromosomal radioadaptive response in human lymphocytes.
Background : There are growing evidences for chromosomal radioadaptive response in human lymphocytes . Highly variable inter- and intra-individual responses have been reported. Some individuals are non-responders and even in some donors the frequency of chromatid aberrations induced by a challenge dose increases by pre-exposure to an adapting dose. It has been proposed that the lack of radioada...
متن کاملIn-silico prediction of Cellular Responses to Polymeric Biomaterials from Their Molecular Descriptors
In this work quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) methodology was applied for modeling and prediction of cellular response to polymers that have been designed for tissue engineering. After calculation and screening of molecular descriptors, linear and nonlinear models were developed by using multiple linear regressions (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) methods. The root m...
