Biocompatible Materials In article number 2200362, Teppei Araki, Tsuyoshi Sekitani, and co-workers develop a skin-like transparent sensor sheet that represents the ultimate imperceptible probe in terms of wearability invisibility based on network control nano- micro materials. Integrated system for remote recording biosignals using electricity light offers possibility stress-free home healthcar...

Coating the material with a layer of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been a subject of particular interest for the development of new biomaterials. Such coatings, made of properly selected CNTs, may constitute an implantable electronic device that facilitates tissue regeneration both by specific surface properties and an ability to electrically stimulate the cells. The goal of the presented study w...

Successful application of many implantable medical devices often depends on the technique used for attaching the devices to living tissue. Although mechanical attachment techniques that use micro-scale piercing elements are very promising, the fabrication of the micro-scale piercing elements poses considerable challenges. In this paper, the use of the mechanical micromilling process for fabrica...

Introduction: Several attempts to invent implantable devices have done, and it is also necessary to develop biocompatible packaging materials for implantable devices. Thus, we evaluated the biocompatibility of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) by analyzing of the changes of macrophage, macrophage migratory inhibitory factor (MIF) and inflammatory cytokines of the bl...

There is an enduring and unmet need for a bioactive, load-bearing tissue-engineering scaffold, which is biocompatible, biodegradable and capable of facilitating and promoting osteogenesis when implanted in vivo. This study set out to develop a biomimetic scaffold by incorporating osteoinductive hydroxyapatite (HA) particles into a highly porous and extremely biocompatible collagen-based scaffol...

magnesium alloys as biodegradable materials can be used in body as an implant materials but since they have poor corrosion resistance, it is required to decrease their corrosion rate by biocompatible coatings. in this study, hydroxyapatite (ha) coatings in the presence of an intermediate layer of zrn as a biocompatible material, deposited on az91 magnesium alloy by ion beam sputtering method at...

Microparticles (MPs) have great potentiality in material science- based applications. Their use in biology is however limited to clinics and has rarely been exploited in the pharmaceutical context. Unlike nanoparticles (NPs), they are amenable to routine detection by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Though MPs can constitute a wide variety of materials, including ceramics, glass, polymer...

The fabrication of monodisperse nanostructures of highly controlled size and morphology with spatially distinct functional regions is a current area of high interest in materials science. Achieving this control directly in a biologically relevant solvent, without affecting cell viability, opens the door to a wide range of biomedical applications, yet this remains a significant challenge. Herein...

The design of novel, soft membrane structures with chemical and physical properties that are tunable across a broad spectrum of parameter space is important for the development of new functional materials. Many potential applications of these novel membranes will likely require biocompatible interfaces, e.g., for functional reconstitution of integral proteins. Here we investigate the formation ...
