摘要
Traditionally, biomaterials have functioned primarily as implants, with only basic understanding of their interactions with the body apart from biocompatibility. A new generation of biomaterials will actively make use of interactions with biological functions, promising new capabilities and therapeutic products. © 2009 Macmillan Publishers Limited.
