Koninklijke DSM N.V. ( Royal DSM, commonly known as DSM, which is the acronym for Dutch State Mines ), [2] was a Dutch multinational corporation active in the fields of health, nutrition and materials. Headquartered in Heerlen, at the end of 2017 DSM employed 21,054 people in approximately 50 countries and posted net sales of €8.632 billion in 2018 [1] and €9.204 billion in 2021. [3] In ...
A biomaterial is a substance that has been engineered to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose – either a therapeutic (treat, augment, repair, or replace a tissue function of the body) or a diagnostic one. The corresponding field of study, called biomaterials science or biomaterials engineering, is about fifty years old. [needs update] It has experienced steady growth over ...
Bio-based material. A bio-based material is a material intentionally made from substances derived from living (or once-living) organisms. [1] These materials are sometimes referred to as biomaterials, but this word also has another meaning. Strictly the definition could include many common materials such as wood and leather, but it typically ...
Bioceramic. A porous bioceramic granule of an orthobiologic calcium composition manufactured by Cam Bioceramics. Bioceramics and bioglasses are ceramic materials that are biocompatible. [1] Bioceramics are an important subset of biomaterials. [2] [3] Bioceramics range in biocompatibility from the ceramic oxides, which are inert in the body, to ...
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition ( DSM-5 ), is the 2013 update to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the taxonomic and diagnostic tool published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). In 2022, a revised version (DSM-5-TR) was published. [1] In the United States, the DSM serves as the principal authority for psychiatric ...
Biomanufacturing is a type of manufacturing or biotechnology that utilizes biological systems to produce commercially important biomaterials and biomolecules for use in medicines, food and beverage processing, and industrial applications. Biomanufacturing products are recovered from natural sources, such as blood, or from cultures of microbes, animal cells, or plant cells grown in specialized ...
Strength of biomaterials (bioceramics) is an important mechanical property because they are brittle. In brittle materials like bioceramics, cracks easily propagate when the material is subject to tensile loading, unlike compressive loading. A number of methods are available for determining the tensile strength of materials, such as the bending ...
Biomaterials exhibit various degrees of compatibility with the harsh environment within a living organism. They need to be nonreactive chemically and physically with the body, as well as integrate when deposited into tissue. [1] [2] The extent of compatibility varies based on the application and material required. Often modifications to the surface of a biomaterial system are required to ...
