DOIAbstract
Different materials have distinct surface and bulk characteristics; each of them potentially useful for the treatment of a particular wound or disease. By reviewing those materials that have reached a clinical stage the reader will have a broad panorama of the possibilities a particular material can offer, regarding its ability to support fast tissue regeneration. This review covers the most recent advances made towards the development of biomaterials aimed to support regenerative processes. Indeed, we highlight key examples, from basic research to clinical trials, of biomaterials for a specific biomedical application. In this context, the focus is made on collagen, chitosan and silica which are key representatives of a protein, a polysacch...
