Abstract
Bone infection is a debilitating condition characterized by inflammation of the bone and its marrow. It poses significant challenges in clinical practice due to its recalcitrant nature and difficulty in eradicating the infecting microorganisms. Recent advancements in the field of medical biomaterials have shown hope in the treatment of bone infections. This article reviews the research progress of medical biomaterials for anti-osteomyelitis in recent years, focusing on the mechanism of action, unique advantages, and application backgrounds of various materials. At the same time, we pay attention to the need for materials used in the treatment of osteomyelitis to promote bone healing.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Biomaterials (JFB, ISSN 2079-4983) is an international and interdisciplinary scientific journal that publishes regular research papers (articles), reviews and short communications about applications of materials for biomedical use. JFB covers subjects from chemistry, pharmacy, biology, physics over to engineering. The journal focuses on the preparation, performance and use of functional biomaterials in biomedical devices and their behaviour in physiological environments. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Several topical special issues will be published. Scope: adhesion, adsorption, biocompatibility, biohybrid materials, bio-inert materials, biomaterials, biomedical devices, biomimetic materials, bone repair, cardiovascular devices, ceramics, composite materials, dental implants, dental materials, drug delivery systems, functional biopolymers, glasses, hyper branched polymers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), nanomedicine, nanoparticles, nanotechnology, natural materials, self-assembly smart materials, stimuli responsive materials, surface modification, tissue devices, tissue engineering, tissue-derived materials, urological devices.
