The use of implants in the form of pacemakers and stents for heart ailments is growing. The growth is for cardiovascular disease control and treatment in the geriatric population around the world.
Naturally available biomaterials such as proteins are selectively modified for tissue engineering. This primarily involves cell adhesion and protein fusions that are applied in gene delivery, cell encapsulating and coating, and drug delivery and are likely to boost the growth prospects of the market.
Genetically engineered biomaterials involve sequencing processes based on genetics, structure, molecular weights, and fusion chemistries. A boom is predicted in the production of biomaterials using physical and chemical combinations in genetic engineering. Such focused production of biomaterials through intrinsic research aids in improving the effectiveness of implants.
Research for developing artificial skin through specialized biomaterial is a major opportunity driver for the cosmetic biomaterial market expansion. Varied forms of sponge combining fibrillar collagen and gelatin are being evaluated. This evaluation is based on in vitro cellular responses and in vivo tissue reactions. The evaluation includes in vivo experimentation done in a whole organism such as in vivo cell lining.
