Van den Beucken et al.demonstrates how nanotechnology approaches for biocompatible implants and prostheses become more relevant as life expectancy increases. The main challenges are the synthesis of biocompatible mate- rials, understanding and eventually controlling the biological processes that occur upon implantation of natural materials and synthetic devices, and identifying future applications of biomedical nanotechnology to address various health issues. The use of currently available nanofabrication methods for implants and understanding cell behavior when brought in contact with nanostructured materials are also described.
