Application in Regenerative Medicine and Therapeutics is Anticipated to Drive the Biomaterial Market Growth

Published: May 2020

The biomaterial market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of over 12% during the forecast period. Biomaterials are designed and developed to interact with the body usually in implant material and also as sensors or probes for non-invasive diagnosis. Biomaterials have revolutionized the medical industry especially with things such as hip replacements and knee replacements. However, there's still so much untapped potential in the biomaterial landscape.It takes a special effort to design biomaterials that work directly with the human body. 

Technically, any material can be used as a biomaterial, however,to be successful it needs to be compatible with the biological system it is interacting with. The materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composite and even living cells and tissues can be used as biomaterials as long as they have the right properties.Each type has different properties that make it useful as a biomaterial.

There are four main ways the biomaterial can interact with the body which includes it can hurt the body, it can dissolve and be replaced by cells of the body, and it can get surrounded with a protective layer. Over the decades, the materials that are considered as biocompatible have changed a lot starting from the animal tissue used in ancient to stitch wounds to the wood used in olden day peg legs to the carefully engineered materials used currently. Some of the prominent biomaterials that are used today include titanium and stainless steel. Its application can be found everywhere from joint replacement to dental implants. 

Biomaterials are used as a key part of regenerative medicine. And that's because they can be designed or developed to recruit in guide cells in the body to heal tissues that wouldn't heal by any other means. For instance, a bouncy Bayou glass that has been 3D printed such that its chemistry and architecture guide cells and recruits them from the bone marrow to produce high-quality cartilage. Since they can bounce, this means that they can be implanted straight into the joints and getting get patients up and moving around quickly.

Biomaterials can also be used in therapeutics. They can be used as tiny particles to deliver or even replace conventional drugs. These tiny particles can be injected into the body. They can search for the cancer cells and eliminate them without killing those healthy cells around them. They can also go as far as going to the brain and help regenerate neurons to treat diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. However, most of the biomaterials are still in their experimental phase. It is really important that clinicians such as those in the medical school work with various medical device companies in order to make sure these new developments are going to get through the clinic phase to commercialization.
