The standards for biological evaluation of medical devices are currently being evaluated. This article presents the rationale behind the current ISO 10993 series and discusses the work in progress to revise elements of the standards and to incorporate new areas. Particular issues being addressed include a new definition of biocompatibility, and quality of health, which will include product risk assessment and surveillance in the market place.

As a complex and dynamically regulated process, wound healing is collaboratively carried out by multiple types of cells. However, the precise mechanisms by which these cells contribute to immune regulation are not yet fully understood. Although research on bone regeneration has been quite extensive, the application of bioactive glass (BG) in skin tissue repair remains still relatively underexplored.

In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for biomedical applications, owing to their superior chemical versatility, unique textural properties and enhanced mechanical properties. However, their fast and uncontrolled degradation, together with the reduced bioactivity have restricted their clinical potential. To overcome these limitations, MOFs can be synergistically combined with other materials, such as bioactive glasses (BGs), known for their bioactivity and therapeutic ion releasing capabilities.
