Bioactive glasses BGs are glasses with networks in either the silicate, borate, or phosphate systems, that form hydroxyl carbonate apatite HCA on the surface when introduced into a physiological environment...

Hydrogels have wide applications in tissue engineering and bioelectronics. In spite of widespread applications of functional hydrogels with superior conductive or magnetic responsive performances, there are still some limitations caused by insufficient flexibility, resilience and responsive sensitivity in some fields, such as highly flexible electronics, organic pressure sensitive sensors, and responsive actuators...

Chitin is a natural biocompatible polysaccharide made of N-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose linked through 13-1,4 glycosidic linkages...

Several adhesives found in nature perform in ways that synthetic adhesives do not yet match. For example, even though many aquatic organisms have adapted to adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments, it remains an engineering challenge to synthesize biocompatible adhesives that are effective in wet conditions...

Adipose tissue has a limited capacity for repair following trauma, disease, or post-oncologic surgical resection...
