Advanced organic-inorganic materials-composites, nanocomposites, and hybrids with various compositions offer unique properties required for biomedical applications. One of the most promising inorganic (nano)additives are polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS); their biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and phase separation ability that modifies the material porosity are fundamental properties required in modern biomedical applications. When incorporated, chemically or physically, into polyurethane matrices, they substantially change polymer properties, including mechanical properties, surface characteristics, and bioactivity. Hence, this review is dedicated to POSS-PU composites that have recently been developed for applications in the biomedical field. First, different modes of POSS incorporation into PU structure have been presented, then recent developments of PU/POSS hybrids as bio-active composites for scaffolds, cardiovascular stents, valves, and membranes, as well as in bio-imaging and cancer treatment, have been described. Finally, characterization and methods of modification routes of polyurethane-based materials with silsesquioxanes were presented.

Solid colloidal particles of size from 10 to 1000 Nanometre are known as Nanoparticles. Nanoparticles contribute many benefits to bigger particles such as enhanced surface-to-volume ratio and enhanced magnetic properties. Over the last few years, there has been an undeviating growing interest in using nanoparticles in different biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery, hyperthermia, photo ablation therapy, bio imaging, and biosensors. Iron oxide nanoparticles have dominated applications, such as drug delivery, hyperthermia, bio imaging, cell labelling, and gene delivery, because of their superior properties such as chemical stability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, high saturation magnetization, and high magnetic susceptibility. In this paper, biomedical applications of two different types of nanoparticles metal oxide nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes are discussed.

Elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) containing materials have spurred significant research interest for biomedical applications exploiting their biocompatible, biodegradable and nonimmunogenic nature while maintaining precise control over their chemical structure and functionality through genetic engineering. Physical, mechanical and biological properties of ELPs could be further manipulated using genetic engineering or through conjugation with a variety of chemical moieties. These chemical and physical modifications also achieve interesting micro- and nanostructured ELP-based materials. Here, we review the recent developments during the past decade in the methods to engineer elastin-like materials, available genetic and chemical modification methods and applications of ELP micro and nanostructures in tissue engineering and drug delivery.

: Nanotechnology gain momentum in recent years in the field of drug delivery including nanomedicine and nano-delivery systems. Several applications such as biological agents, chemotherapeutic agents and immunotherapeutic agents are used for the treatment of number of diseases. This review compiles an updated summary on recent developments in this emerging field of nanomedicines and nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems. The study of nanostructured drug delivery systems helps to understand the efficient transport and controlled release of drugs to the diseased tissues of living organisms. This has stimulated the authors to highlight recent advances on smart nanocarriers composed of biopolymeric nanoparticles such as liposomes, dendrimers, and hydrogels. This review also highlighted some critical issues in the designing of nanocarrier systems for biomedical applications.

Cryogels are interconnected macroporous materials that are synthesized from a monomer solution at sub-zero temperatures. Cryogels, which are used in various applications in many research areas, are frequently used in biomedicine applications due to their excellent properties, such as biocompatibility, physical resistance and sensitivity. Cryogels can also be prepared in powder, column, bead, sphere, membrane, monolithic, and injectable forms. In this review, various examples of recent developments in biomedical applications of injectable cryogels, which are currently scarce in the literature, made from synthetic and natural polymers are discussed. In the present review, several biomedical applications of injectable cryogels, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, therapeutic, therapy, cell transplantation, and immunotherapy, are emphasized. Moreover, it aims to provide a different perspective on the studies to be conducted on injectable cryogels, which are newly emerging trend.
