The material designed to be introduced into the human tissue should be biocompatible and biofunctional. Unless it is so, the body may respond to the implant in different ways. An inflammation reaction may appear such as: parting of items of the implant surface resulting from fraction or pressure. The condition of the surface has an important influence on the usefulness of the implant. The required values depend on the implant function...

Designing biomaterials capable of biomimicking wound healing and skin regeneration has been receiving increasing attention recently. Some biopolymers behave similarly to the extracellular matrix (ECM), supporting biointerfacial adhesion and intrinsic cellular interactions. Polydopamine (PDA) is a natural bioadhesive and bioactive polymer that endows high chemical versatility, making it an exciting candidate for a wide range of...

W pracy przedstawiono problematykę związaną z zagadnieniem trwałości biomateriałów stomatologicznych. Scharakteryzowano kryteria doboru materiałów i na przykładzie koron stomatologicznych pokazano wyniki oceny prawidłowości doboru w oparciu o metodę elementów skończonych. Przedstawiono wyniki weryfikacji doświadczalnej i wskazano na możliwości wykorzystania tej metody do konstruowania odpornych na zniszczenie koron metalowo-ceramicznych.

Biomaterials are of interest in most medical fields. It's hard to imagine life without them. And due to the ever-increasing demand, scientists are developing new materials. Diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems are still a big problem, which are associated with a limited ability to regenerate brain or heart tissues. Therefore, this review discusses the advancement in biomaterial engineering for the treatment of neurological...
