Biomedicine is actively developing in Russia. Scientists are working on creating a synthetic polymer that could mimic living tissue. This was stated by Dmitry Ivanov, head of the "Biomaterials" department of the Scientific Center for Genetics and Life Sciences of the Sirius University.
We are talking not only about a material that can be used to create implants, but also about matrices [material between cells - editor's note www1.ru] for wound healing, the scientist noted. According to him, it is possible to develop a polymer that can replace soft tissues.
Such developments have several important stages, Ivanov explained. The first stage is biomimicry, when the polymer in its properties will not be inferior to living tissue. The second stage is assistance in reconstructive surgery, that is, the possibility of filling the cavity formed due to injury with a polymer. This is the so-called polymer "skin".
In the future, as the scientist emphasized, it is possible to provide various colors for such "skin". However, the clinical application of these polymers is still far away, Ivanov summed up.
Earlier in Skoltech developed a sensor based on nanoparticles, which will reduce the cost of production of composites from thermosetting polymers.
