Configurable Biopolymeric Coatings for Medical Devices with Optional Antimicrobial Protection: The Technology Platform Behind HydakR

摘要

Biopolymers such as proteins and polysaccharides are the essential building blocks of tissue. Through care-fully orchestrated expression, these molecules work in concert to perform fundamental reactions behind most biological functions. Inadequate reproduction of this functionality is precisely the reason why bioma-terials today are imperfect replacements for their intended applications. What if a technology platform existed that could aid incorporation of functional biopolymers onto a surface?
