Abstract
The use of more than 2 billion biomaterial devices per year in therapeutic medicine elucidates the magnitude of one of the biggest problems today’s medicine is dealing with. Clinical application of biomaterials has by far exceeded in both quality and quantity our knowledge about the interaction between the biomaterial and the human organism (1).
