What Are the Current Challenges in Biomaterials Toxicology?
Despite advances in biomaterials science, challenges remain in predicting and mitigating toxicity. These challenges include:
Complex Interactions: The complexity of biological systems makes it difficult to predict how biomaterials will interact at the molecular level. Individual Variability: Genetic and environmental factors can influence individual responses to biomaterials, complicating toxicity assessments. Long-term Safety: Ensuring the long-term safety of biomaterials, particularly for permanent implants, requires extensive research and monitoring.
