Russian scientists develop “smart” material for magnetically controlled drug release

A model of a “smart” composite material that enables controlled drug release has been proposed by Russian scientists from five leading universities in the country. This solution could be in demand for implementing delayed therapy approaches, where a drug loaded into the composite is not released immediately but after a certain time and in the required dosage. Activating the process only requires a single application of a magnetic field, such as those generated by modern medical tomographs.

A new method for studying composites allows for the detection of emerging defects in materials

Russian scientists have developed an innovative approach to studying the structure of composite materials that changes under external influence in real time. This methodology provides important data from miniature samples, which can now be tested in a scanning electron microscope chamber. The results obtained are used for reliable strength calculations, which will save costs in the production and testing of automotive and aerospace components.

Polymeric regeneration: biodegradable material to aid bone tissue restoration

Researchers at NUST MISIS have developed a dental membrane with an antibacterial coating, which has the potential to restore jaw bone tissue. The product is created using a 3D printer, personalized to the specific damage of patients. After the polymer framework is implanted at the injury site, the necessary tissues grow on it, and the structure safely dissolves after a few months. The chosen polymer does not cause acidification of the defect area, which can slow down or even halt the regeneration process. Unlike existing non-resorbable analogs, the biodegradable membrane does not require a second surgical intervention for removal.
