Biomaterials

生物界面是细胞、组织或生物材料与另一组织之间的界面；生物界面是自然科学和生物医学工程以及生物材料研究的核心。这项研究涉及膝关节和眼部生物材料(如关节软骨、膝关节植入生物材料、隐形眼镜)的多学科研究。这项跨学科的工作是新颖的，因为结合了互补和复杂的生物医学工程技术。这项工作的完成将有助于理解膝关节和眼睛润滑，并有助于开发新的生物材料，可能会帮助那些遭受骨关节炎和干眼的人。

A biointerface is an interface between a cell, tissue, or biomaterial with another tissue; biointerfaces are central to natural science and biomedical engineering, as well as biomaterials research. This research involves the multidisciplinary study of knee joint and ocular biomaterial lubrication (e.g. articular cartilage, knee implant biomaterials, contact lenses). This interdisciplinary work is novel due to the combination of complementary and sophisticated biomedical engineering techniques. Completion of this work will contribute to the understanding of knee joint and eye lubrication, and contribute to the development of new biomaterials that may help those that suffer from osteoarthritis and dry eye.
