Stimuli-Responsive Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications
Nature employs a variety of tactics to precisely time and execute the processes and mechanics of life, relying on sequential sense and response cascades to transduce signaling events over multiple length and time scales. Many of these tactics, such as the activation of a zymogen, involve the direct manipulation of a material by a stimulus. Similarly, effective therapeutics and diagnostics requi...
متن کاملStimuli responsive polymers for biomedical applications.
Polymers that can respond to external stimuli are of great interest in medicine, especially as controlled drug release vehicles. In this critical review, we consider the types of stimulus response used in therapeutic applications and the main classes of responsive materials developed to date. Particular emphasis is placed on the wide-ranging possibilities for the biomedical use of these polymer...
متن کاملMagnetic Particles for Biomedical Applications
This chapter discusses applications of magnetic materials in bioengineering and medicine [1–8]. Magnetism and magnetic materials have been used for many decades in many modern medical applications, and several new applications are being developed in part because of the availability of superior electromagnets, superconducting magnets and permanent magnets [9–12]. Advances in the synthesis and ch...
متن کاملStimuli Responsive Poly(Vinyl Caprolactam) Gels for Biomedical Applications
Poly(vinyl caprolactam) (PNVCL) is one of the most important thermoresponsive polymers because it is similar to poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide). PNVCL precipitates from aqueous solutions in a physiological temperature range (32–34 ̋C). The use of PNVCL instead of PNIPAM is considered advantageous because of the assumed lower toxicity of PNVCL. PNVCL copolymer gels are sensitive to external stimuli...
متن کاملStimuli-responsive polymers: biomedical applications and challenges for clinical translation.
Over the past 25 years many interesting biomedical uses have been proposed for stimuli-responsive polymers, including uses in diagnostics, drug delivery, tissue engineering (regenerative medicine), and cell culture. This article briefly overviews the field of stimuli-responsive polymers and describes some of the most successful biomedical applications to date of such "smart" polymers. Other int...
