The nanostructured molecular arrangements from DNA developed by Seeman may find applications as biological encapsulation and drug-delivery systems, as artificial multienzymes, or as scaffolds for the self-assembling nanoscale fabrication of technical elements. Moreover, DNA-protein conjugates may be anticipated as versatile building blocks in the fabrication of multifunctional supramolecular devices and also as highly functional-... 

A composite scaffold drug delivery system (CS-DDS) for osteoarticular tuberculosis therapy has been prepared by loading bi-component drugs into a... 

Significant developments have occurred in recent years in the fields of biopolymers and biomaterials. New synthetic materials have been synthesized and tested for a variety of biomedical and related applications from linings for artifical hearts to artifical pancreas devices and from intraocular lenses to drug delivery systems. Of particular interest in the future is the development of intelligent polymers or materials with special functional groups that can be used either for specialty medical applications or as templates or scaffolds for tissue regeneration.

Biocompatible ortho aromatic polyanhydrides, (IV), prepared by Uhrich [5] were used in drug delivery systems and as scaffolding implants for tissue reconstruction. 

Biodegradable sutures, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds... 

But the different degradation processes, PHB catalyzed by enzymes and acid-base catalyst and PLA just by acid-base catalyst, determine to a considerable extent the degradation and/or resorption times of both materials and therefore the areas for human and veterinary medical use. These materials are used in human or veterinary medicine, or they are presently being tested in the in vitro phase, for example, as resorbable sutures, for blood vessel repair, drug-delivery systems, bandages, scaffolds for producing retard materials for coupling active substances, cells and... 

In recent years, a rapid progress has been made in the field of biomedical materials, which combine natural and synthetic polymers and can be used in a variety of applications, including wound closure [43, 44], drug delivery systems [45, 46], novel vascular grafts [47-50] or scaffolds [51, 52] for in vitro or in vivo tissue engineering [50, 53, 54].
