Dictionary » B » Biomaterials Biomaterials(Science: pharmacology) Any nondrug material that can be used to treat, enhance, or replace any tissue, organ, or function in an organism. also refers to biologically derived material that is used for its structural rather than its biological properties, for example, using collagen, the protein found in bone and connective tissues, as a cosmetic ingredient. carbohydrates modified with biotechnological processes have been used as lubricants for biomedical applications or as bulking agents in food manufacture.

Results from our forumWhy do bacteria and other micro-organisms need water...... are ceased to levels unable to support life (or stopped altogether) if there is little or no water present. Since many processes that degrade biomaterials are also water-dependant, some microbes deliberately remove water from themselves (e.g. by forming spores) in order to greatly increase ...

The Fiber Disease... with high spatial resolution (Bard et al., 1991b; Barker et al., 1999). SECM has been applied to the study of a number of synthetic membranes and biomaterials including skin (Bath et al., 1998; Scott et al., 1991; 1993a, b; 1995), dentine (Macpherson et al., 1995a, b; Unwin et al., 1997), and ...

The Fiber Disease... This understanding is relevant to molecular recognition, self-assembly and the formation of materials with well-defined architectures, as well as biomaterials and tissue engineering utility. We utilize a variety of experimental strategies to gain insight into these areas: (1) genetic engineering ...
