Scientific and technological advances have combined to lead the way into a new era of the ever-developing science of biomaterials and tissue regeneration. This field has rapidly grown and new frontiers have quickly been established. Despite obtaining satisfactory results with current methods, improved techniques that lead to diminished patient discomfort, more favorable long-term prognosis, and decreased health care costs continue to be the goals of researchers, patients, and surgeons. Biomaterials have undergone a rapid evolution from materials that simply replaced tissues to factors that stimulate a biological response in the body.
科技进步共同引领了生物材料与组织再生这一不断发展的科学进入一个新时代。该领域迅速发展，新的前沿领域也迅速确立。尽管当前方法取得了令人满意的结果，但能减轻患者不适、带来更有利的长期预后并降低医疗成本的改进技术仍是研究人员、患者和外科医生的目标。生物材料已从单纯替代组织的材料迅速演变为能刺激身体产生生物学反应的因素。
