Biomaterials structure

Science is entering into the nanoscale world, and the organization of microscale or nanoscale biomaterial structures on surfaces has been demonstrated and is a subject of extensive research effort.184,851 Single biomaterial molecules have been imaged on surfaces,186 871 and the individual affinity interactions of biomaterials probed at the molecular level.188,891 While the different scanning microscopy techniques provide useful means to image and manipulate biomaterials on surfaces, the use of the near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) 9<) in the activation of photoswitchable biomaterials on surfaces should be emphasized specifically.

Development of modular self-assembling biomaterials is an attempt to harness the cell as the master-builder of its own extracellular matrix using tailored synthetic components. Biomaterial structures that are designed and built by human cells and their cellular components is only just being realized and is an important aim for future biomaterials for clinical applications. 

While other researchers are developing cell-independent selfassembling biomaterial structures which better simulate their natural counter-parts. The promise of both approaches is to maximise biological responses and in turn increase native tissue regeneration.

As an alternative to traditional chemieal methods employing toxie reagents and solvents and harsh conditions, enzymatic approaches may offer eleaner and safer alternatives for the incorporation of ECM-derived peptide sequenees into biomaterials. The enzyme-catalyzed reactions are an interesting approaeh to prepare biomimetic biomaterials enzymes are expected to offer alternatives to current chemical approaches, owing to their specificity and selectivity, which allows a more careful control of reaction conditions and final biomaterial structure by targeting selected reactive sites of the substrate [94].
