  2. MICHIGAN TECH Jeremy Goldman , jgoldman@mtu.edu RESEARCH FORUM TECHTALKS Areas of research/expertise Vascular biomaterials, physiology, biology, remodeling, and regeneration. Main project: We are developing biodegradable metal stents based on zinc. • Degrade at a rate to fully dissolve inside the artery within 1 – 2 years depending on the strut dimensions • Does not provoke a harmful biological response Alloying to increase strength has been successful

  3. Jeremy Goldman , jgoldman@mtu.edu NAME, e-mail address • The neointima that forms around the zinc metal implant does not progress in thickness or experience cell hyperplasia, in contrast to standard stent materials. • The character of the neointima suggests a cell suppressive effect against the growth of harmful cell types. • We are presently exploring the mechanism of cell suppression by zinc corrosion products. Pictures & diagrams are best!
