BMA 501 - Biomat Cell-Surface Phen

“Epigenetics” refers to living cell behavioral phenomena determined by factors beyond the genetic code. Living cells¿ contacts with synthetic materials are clearly different as the materials¿ surface properties change. The goal of this Course is to refine and build upon your prior knowledge of the basic properties of fabricated plastics (polymers), metals, ceramics, and natural substances, by adding a detailed understanding of contact interactions between living and nonliving substances, and their consequences for public and environmental health.
