Abstract
Biomaterials as we know them today had their origins in the late 1940s with off-the-shelf commercial polymers and metals. The evolution of materials for medical applications from these simple origins has been rapid and impactful. This review relates some of the early history; addresses concerns after two decades of development in the twenty-first century; and discusses how advanced technologies in both materials science and biology will address concerns, advance materials used at the biointerface, and improve outcomes for patients.
期刊介绍：
Since 1999, the Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering has been capturing major advancements in the expansive realm of biomedical engineering. Encompassing biomechanics, biomaterials, computational genomics and proteomics, tissue engineering, biomonitoring, healthcare engineering, drug delivery, bioelectrical engineering, biochemical engineering, and biomedical imaging, the journal remains a vital resource. The current volume has transitioned from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, with all articles published under a CC BY license.
