Biomaterials Science: An Introduction to Materials in Medicine
TL;DR: A. Ratner, Biomaterials Science: An Interdisciplinary Endeavor, Materials Science and Engineering--Properties of Materials: J.E. Schoen, and R.J.Ratner, Surface Properties of Materials, and Application of Materials in Medicine and Dentistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
BIOMATERIALS: Where We Have Been and Where We Are Going
TL;DR: This new generation of biomaterials includes surface modification of materials to overcome nonspecific protein adsorption in vivo, precision immobilization of signaling groups on surfaces, and design of sophisticated three-dimensional architectures to produce well-defined patterns for diagnostics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomedical surface science: Foundations to frontiers
David G. Castner,Buddy D. Ratner +1 more
TL;DR: Future directions and opportunities for surface scientists working in biomedical research include exploiting biological knowledge, biomimetics, precision immobilization, self-assembly, nanofabrication, smart surfaces, and control of non-specific reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zwitterionic hydrogels implanted in mice resist the foreign-body reaction
Lei Zhang,Zhiqiang Cao,Tao Bai,Louisa R. Carr,Jean-Rene Ella-Menye,Colleen Irvin,Buddy D. Ratner,Shaoyi Jiang +7 more
TL;DR: Zwitterionic hydrogels can resist the formation of a capsule for at least 3 months after subcutaneous implantation in mice, and may be useful in a broad range of applications, including generation of biocompatible implantable medical devices and tissue scaffolds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macrophage polarization: an opportunity for improved outcomes in biomaterials and regenerative medicine.
TL;DR: The diverse roles played by macrophages in these processes are discussed in addition to the potential manipulation of macrophage effector mechanisms as a strategy for promoting site-appropriate and constructive tissue remodeling as opposed to deleterious persistent inflammation and scar tissue formation.
