In a new study published in the journal Nature Materials, researchers from the University of California, San Diego have identified the key mechanisms of materials that make them biologically compatible. The team studied how materials interact with biological systems, and identified the key molecular and physical properties that make them suitable for use in biomedicine. Their findings provide a foundation for medical device and drug development as well as for the development of new materials for use in biomedicine.

By studying the interactions between materials and biological systems, researchers were able to identify the key factors that determine the compatibility of a material for use in biomedicine. They identified a range of molecular and physical properties, including surface chemistry, surface topography, stiffness, wettability, and biocompatibility, as the key elements. The team also found that the combination of these properties can be used to predict the compatibility of a material with biological systems. These findings provide a starting point for the development of materials suitable for use in biomedicine.
