Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Many of the major breakthroughs and paradigm shifts in medicine to date have occurred due to innovations and materials and/or application/implementation of materials in clinical medicine. Artificial heart valves, implantable cardiac devices, limb prosthesis, cardiovascular stents, orthopedic implants, and artificial skin are just a few examples of the numerous applications of materials science in modern-day medicine. The past two decades have seen the emergence of some of the most exciting avenues for innovation in clinical medicine, with materials as its core and include: sustained drug delivery systems, gene therapy, regenerative therapies, and targeting technologies primarily for imaging and tumor targeting.
