Atmospheric pressure plasma jets generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in liquids and biological media, which find application in the new area of plasma medicine. These plasma-treated liquids were demonstrated ...

En el presente trabajo, en primer lugar, se evaluó el comportamiento de microtransportadores (MT),basados en un cemento de fosfato tricálcico alfa (alfa-TCP) y susmezclas con colágeno y gelatina, en cultivos dinámicos de ...

Replacing bone in load bearing sites still poses a challenge. Fiber reinforcement of calcium phosphate based cements is a promising strategy to develop bone substitutes with improved mechanical properties. In this study, ...

According to a study of the European Commission, approximately one million hips are replaced by prostheses worldwide every year. The interaction of the human body with foreign materials that are subjected to alternating ...

Major limitations of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are their relatively slow degradation rate and the lack of macropores allowing the ingrowth of bone tissue. The development of self-setting cement foams has been proposed ...

Nowadays, β type Ti-based alloys have been developed for load transfer clinical applications due to their superelasticity, shape memory effect, low elastic modulus and high damping capacity [1]. These properties promote ...

Calcium phosphates (CaP) are biomaterials widely used in applications for bone regeneration. The success of these materials is due to the similarity in composition of CaP to the mineral phase of bone. An important aspect ...

In bone tissue engineering, the composition of the ionic extracellular environment (IEE) can determine both cellular fate and a biomaterial ’ s development and performance. Therefore, precise control of the IEE and a ...

Bone is a hard tissue which is remodelled throughout life and possesses the ability to heal small injuries and ruptures, meanwhile larger fractures, or voids generated after a tumour removal, are more difficult or even ...
