There was a lack of effective, cell-free biomaterials for bladder tissue regeneration that could reliably restore function without the complexities and risks of cell-seeded scaffolds. The breakthrough ...

Biomaterials are materials used to build medical devices or implants/prostheses, meant to restore or replace lost or impaired body functions. They are derived from natural, synthetic or semi-synthetic ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The next star in drug delivery and medical technology may be a new material developed by Purdue University researchers. Kelley Keys, a chemical engineering graduate student, ...

Polymer biomaterials have truly become integrated into modern day healthcare and medical science. These range from the basic, such as culture equipment and blood bags, to the complex, ...

We cordially invite researchers from both academia as well as industry, to join this polymer conference and to present cutting-edge research at the interface of design/function or function/application ...

DURHAM – An injectable that prompts bone regeneration. A biodegradable patch inside a surgical wound that relieves pain. A 3D-printed replacement for a crushed ankle. These sound more like props in a ...

A revolutionary, new biomaterial, developed at the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials at Rutgers University has moved from the lab bench to field testing in record time. This achievement, a product of ...

Scientists have discovered how the materials used in medical implants like artificial joints can be adapted to control the immune response to them and reduce the risk of rejection. The team from the ...
