(2015-01-23)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Uppsala universitetResorbable calcium phosphate based bone void fillers should work as temporary templates for new bone formation. The incorporation of macropores with sizes of 100 -300 µm has been shown to increase the resorption rate of ... -
Changes in the drug release pattern of fresh and set simvastatin-loaded brushite cement
(2016-01-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Uppsala universitetCalcium phosphate cements are synthetic bone graft substitutes able to set at physiological conditions. They can be applied by minimally invasive surgery and can also be used as drug delivery systems. Consequently, the ... -
Compressive, diametral tensile and biaxial flexural strength of cutting-edge calcium phosphate cements
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Uppsala universitet© 2016 The Authors. Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are widely used in bone repair. Currently there are two main types of CPCs, brushite and apatite. The aim of this project was to evaluate the mechanical properties of ... -
Effect of calcium phosphate heparinization on the in vitro inflammatory response and osteoclastogenesis of human blood precursor cells
(2019-01-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli / Uppsala universitet / Università di Bologna / Institut de Bioenginyeria de CatalunyaThe immobilization of natural molecules on synthetic bone grafts stands as a strategy to enhance their biological interactions. During the early stages of healing, immune cells and osteoclasts (OC) modulate the inflammatory ... -
Evaluation of a porosity measurement method for wet calcium phosphate cements
(2015)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Uppsala universitetThe porosity of a calcium phosphate cement is a key parameter as it affects several important properties of the cement. However, a successful, non-destructive porosity measurement method that does not include drying has ... -
Functionalized silk promotes cell migration into calcium phosphate cements by providing macropores and cell adhesion motifs
(2022-11-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Kungliga Tekniska högskolan / Uppsala universitet / Institut de Bioenginyeria de CatalunyaCalcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are attractive synthetic bone grafts as they possess osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. Their biomimetic synthesis grants them an intrinsic nano- and microporosity that resembles ... -
