	Society for Biomaterials 2007 Annual Meeting
		Biomaterials are a fundamental component of growth-promoting bridges designed to direct and stimulate axonal regeneration across scars, gaps, and cavities resulting from traumatic injury to the central and peripheral nervous systems.
		Engineered biomaterial functionality includes fiber and channel-based topographic guidance and the incorporation of adhesion ligands, trophic factors, and recombinant DNA vectors targeted to regulate interactions with infiltrating astroglial cells and regenerating axons, as well as controlling the differentiation and function of transplanted cell populations.
		Protein- and peptide-based biomaterials, using the whole or part of the protein as basis for biomaterial construction, have attracted attention in recent years because they are a great alternative to their synthetic counterparts.

		In surgery, a biomaterial is a synthetic material used to replace part of a living system or to function in intimate contact with living tissue.
		Another definition of biomaterial is "any substance (other than drugs) or combination of substances synthetic or natural in origin, which can be used for any period of time, as a whole or as a part of a system which treats, augments, or replaces any tissue, organ, or function of the body".
		A biomaterial is different from a biological material such as bone that is produced by a biological system.

	LABORATORY OF CELL-BIOMATERIAL INTERACTIONS
		The state-of-the art in biomaterials science and implantology is a technology that fails to control the tissue-biomaterial interface resulting in an unavoidable generic inflammatory foreign body reaction to the implanted material regardless of its physical and chemical properties.
		Although biomaterials that are optimized by current empirical methods generally perform at acceptable levels for clinical use, higher implant performance goals could be achieved if a higher level of control at the biomaterial-tissue interface was obtained and inflammatory reactions eliminated.
		For the first step, biomaterials are routinely rendered minimally cell adhesive by covalently immobilizing a dextran monomolecular layer to biomaterial surfaces.

		A major focus of research in the Anseth group is the development of biomaterial scaffolds with highly-controlled architectures and chemistries for three-dimensional cell culture, tissue regeneration, and biological arrays and/or assays.
		Our research spans the spectrum of fundamental studies to better understand the role of the biomaterial environment on cell function and the biology of tissue formation to targeted clinical applications in the design of in situ forming cell carriers that promote healing.
		A second, defining feature of our approach is that we use photoinitiated reactions in the fabrication of biomaterial scaffolds, which enable processing under physiological conditions and, thus, scaffold formation in the presence of cells, tissues, and proteins.

	Building a Better Biomaterial (MDDI archive, April 00)
		If you ask Robert Ward a question about the latest developments in biomaterials research, you're likely to get a "shallow" answer: "There are a number of surface-modified polymers and materials for tissue engineering that need to be well-characterized in order to relate the surface chemistry to whatever biofunctionality people are after.
		Such advances in the ability to analyze and ultimately control the surface properties of materials at biological interfaces are critically important to those, like Ward, who are designing new polymers for use in the body (see Thermoplastic Silicone-Urethane Copolymers: A New Class of Biomedical Elastomers in this issue).
		Biomaterials are just a pain to large chemical producers, who want to sell train-car quantities.
