Bio materials in Regenerative Medicine

Biomaterial is any synthetic material which is used to replace part of a living system or to function in contact with the living tissue.. Any material that can be used for these medical applications must possess some specific properties and the most basic criteria are related to biocompatibility. The research has evolved in many ways like its capacity to study the various aspects like molecular biology and cell biology at the implant host tissue interface which further gives a detailed idea about the material biocompatibility. Biomaterials have also been modified in terms of their applicability and are now also being used as carriers to deliver small and large bioactive molecules. These delivery molecules or systems are targeted to a specific tissue for its regeneration.
