## Abstract The regenerated liquid silk fibroin with an average molecular mass of about 60 kDa consists of 18 kinds of amino acids containing ∼10% of polar amino acids with hydroxyl and amino groups such as serine and lysine. The liquid silk fibroin is coupled covalently with insulin molecules thro

## Abstract Bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (BMP‐2) plays a key role in osteogenesis. Biomaterials used for the sustained delivery of BMP‐2 __in vivo__ have shown therapeutic benefits. In the present study, BMP‐2 was loaded in porous silk fibroin scaffolds derived from silkworm cocoons (2.4 ± 0.14 μg
## Abstract The TAXUS® Express ^2^™Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent System employs a coating consisting of the thermoplastic elastomer, poly(styrene‐__b__‐isobutylene‐__b__‐styrene; SIBS), selected for its drug‐eluting characteristics, vascular compatibility, mechanical properties, and biostabilit
## Abstract We investigated a polyester vascular prosthesis (PET) coated with elemental silver (SC). Measurement of silver release over a period of 52 weeks by means of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry of PET with (PET‐G) and without (PET‐N) gelatine impregnation revealed a s
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that porous poly‐L‐lactic acid (PLLA) sensor coatings reduce fibrosis and promote blood microvessel formation in tissue adjacent to the sensor surface. Porous PLLA coatings were produced using ammonium bicarbonate as the gas foaming/s
