## Abstract The goal of this review is to introduce the biomaterials community to the emerging field of selfβhealing materials, and also to suggest how one could utilize and modify selfβhealing approaches to develop new classes of biomaterials. A brief discussion of the __in vivo__ mechanical loadi

An interesting field within the broad subject of biomaterials is the chemical and physical crafting of materials that can functionally substitute or help regenerate the organs and tissues of the human body. Regeneration is the new dimension of this field as opposed to the more established area of pe
Lipids are a class of molecules which self-assemble into a variety of phase-dependent morphologies. We have employed self-assembled lipid microstructures in the development of a number of biomedical material applications. The blood substitute, liposome encapsulated hemoglobin, is being investigated
