      Covenantee:   Universität des Saarlandes / Hospital Clínic i Provincial de Barcelona
      The main drawbacks of cardiovascular bare-metal stents (BMS) are in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis as a result of an incomplete endothelialization after stent implantation. Nano- and microscale modification of implant ...

    • Effectiveness of direct laser interference patterning and peptide immobilization on endothelial cell migration for cardio-vascular applications: an in vitro study 

      Schieber, Romain; Mas Moruno, Carlos; Lasserre, Federico; Roa Rovira, Joan Josep; Ginebra Molins, Maria Pau; Mücklich, Frank T.; Pegueroles Neyra, Marta (2022-04-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Covenantee:   Universität des Saarlandes / Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya
      Endothelial coverage of an exposed cardiovascular stent surface leads to the occurrence of restenosis and late-stent thrombosis several months after implantation. To overcome this difficulty, modification of stent surfaces ...

    • Evolution of microstructure and residual stresses in gradually ground/polished 3Y-TZP 

      Minguela Díaz, Joaquim; Slawik, Sebastian; Mücklich, Frank T.; Ginebra Molins, Maria Pau; Llanes Pitarch, Luis Miguel; Mas Moruno, Carlos; Roa Rovira, Joan Josep (Elsevier, 2019-01-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Covenantee:   Universität des Saarlandes / Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya
      A comprehensive study of progressively ground/polished 3Y-TZP was performed with the aim of better understanding the mechanisms driving the microstructural modifications observed after such procedures, and identifying the ...

    • Injectable calcium phosphate foams for the delivery of Pitavastatin as osteogenic and angiogenic agent
