Abstract
One of the basic requirements of the materials to be used for transplants into the human organism is that they must never induce any biological rejection or disorganized growth in the tissues in which they are immersed. Such unwanted reactions may include, to take some examples, localized necroses resulting from the toxicity of the substances that compose the implanted material, immunologic reactions, hypersensitivity (notably in the case of metals), or localized blood clotting (in cardiovascular implants).
