There that's not so great.
And so that's why some of those things have like a limited lifetime because eventually your body treats it as like a wound and and heals and rejects it.
Yeah, it's it's kind of like so some rejection is like immune based.
Okay.
And so that's where like if the body can see anything on it, like if it can see like some some um uh ligand that it can bind to with antibodies, then you get this like inflammation, which is like an rejection response you see in organ transplants.
But with materials, the body's just like, Oh, there's just like a wound or there's some something here and it just covers it up.
Yeah.
I think, you know, the research in that field has gone on a long time since I left my PhD.
And there was a lot of theories about it's related to the mechanical properties in the material.
Like if it's spongy, there's things like if it's trabecular, like it's have a bunch of little pores in it.
We worked on the theory that it had to do with how hydrophilic the material was.
But anyway, so I was only one working on computers in this group.
I couldn't figure out like how to connect what's on the computer with what's done in the lab because you can make like a simulation of whatever ten thousand part ten thousand particles, ten thousand atoms.
It's like, well, this is not gonna model the human body and an implant.
A lot more a lot more atoms involved.
So I had a good time.
We did some cool stuff, some bioinformatic stuff.
I learned a lot.
But then when I did my postdoc, I was like, okay, we're gonna try to merge experiments and and simulations.
So I worked on this this theory called um maximum entropy.
