Biomaterials have been used in regenerative medicine for years, but they 
have been mainly used as scaffolds to support and guide cells or as cell 
and signaling delivery carriers. Our research has focused in how the 
biomaterials interact with the host environment. We have determined that 
no biomaterial is inert and that all of them can affect cell behavior.

Understanding how cells interact with the biomaterials and how the 
degradation products can activate metabolically the cells allows the 
creation of microenvironments that can induce cell reprograming and 
activation of stem and progenitor cells.

Cells are susceptible to change their phenotype and function in response 
to the designed scaffolds. The selected material, topography, scaffold 
structure and degradation products have to be optimized to fulfil the 
requirements for each tissue (1,2). We have demonstrated that 
biomaterials themselves can activate stem cells at their niche and can 
either differentiate them or dedifferentiate adult cells towards a more 
precursor phenotype. This is perfect for in situ tissue 
engineeringapplications.

The way how we can translate and transfer the technology into products 
will have a lot to do in how they are fabricated and how is the 
interaction with the cells and tissues.

Saludos
Raúl
