Adverse tissue reactions are the most common causes of implant failure, they can affect up to 40 of patients with Metal on Metal MoM implants in the first five years of implantation, and a lower but non-negligible number of Metal on Polyethylene MoP and Ceramic on Polyethylene implants 1 ...

Elastic hydrogels carry the potential to serve as scaffolds for various biomedical applications. Though some elastic hydrogels are biocompatible, most of the synthetic polymer-based elastic scaffolds lack bioactive sequences to promote cell adhesion or migration, which is important for their application in tissue engineering...
