Biomedicine in Russia is actively developing. Scientists are working on the development of a synthetic polymer that could mimic living tissue. The head of the 'Biomaterials' direction of the genetic and life sciences center of the 'Sirius' University Dmitry Ivanov announced this.
It's not only about a material that can be used for the production of implants, but also about matrices [material between cells - ed. www1.ru] for healing wounds, the scientist noted. According to him, it is possible to develop a polymer capable of replacing soft tissues.
Such developments have several important stages, explained Ivanov. The first stage is biomimicry, when the polymer will not be inferior to living tissue in its properties. The second stage is help in reconstructive surgery, i.e., the ability to fill the cavity formed due to injury with polymer. This is so-called polymer 'skin'.
In the future, as the scientist emphasized, different colors can be provided for such 'skin'. However, it is still a long way to go before these polymers can be clinically applied, Ivanov concluded.
Earlier at Skoltech, a sensor was developed based on nanoparticles, which will make the production of composites from thermoreactive polymers cheaper.
