The extraordinaryself-healing ability of many human organsis the most important source of inspirations for design of synthetic materials capable of autonomously reversing the damage development.In particular,by employ...
Articular cartilage plays an important role in weight-bearing and movement.However,it is also more easily damaged in intra-articular fractures.As the cartilage has no vessel and nerve,so it is hardly to repair itself ...

Biomedical metal materials belong to the new multifunctional materials used as diagnoses,therapies and substitute for human tissues,organs and promoting their functions,the effect of which can not be substituted by dr...
In the early part of the last century,various materials were used as'biomaterials'for human body repair.The modern-day biomaterials development started in the middle of the last century when it was realized that borro...
Construction of stimuli-responsive controlled release system for targeted drug delivery to specific cells is essentially important for cancer therapy since most chemotherapeutics are severely toxic[1].Surface-function...
In this paper,the structure and properties of collagen,the rationale of collagen modification,the isoelectric point theory of collagen and its aggregation,and the multi-level collagen aggregates and its level division...
Electrically conducting polymers induce specific cellular responses at the molecular level.One of the crucial limitations of the use of conducting polymers in tissue engineering is their inability to degrade.The incor...
Silk fibroin can be widely used in textile industry,medical and clinical fields,owing to its good biocompatibility,mechanical and physiological properties.Enzymatic modification of silk fibroins allows processing unde...
