Multifaceted Biomaterials Extend to Multiple Uses: New Developments in Biocompatibility

In research laboratories around the world, scientists and engineers are taking newly reported insights about how the human body works, contributing new insights themselves, and then combining that new knowledge with innovative approaches to materials development. The result is a collection of biomaterials that promise to make a vast range of medical devices biocompatible and to increase the level of biocompatibility of those devices that are already considered biocompatible.
