PEG hydrogel containing calcium-releasing particles and mesenchymal stromal cells promote vessel maturation
(2018-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe use of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) for treating diseased tissues with poor vascularization has received significant attention, but low cell survival has hampered its translation to the clinic. Bioglasses and ... -
Biomimetic versus sintered calcium phosphates: The in vitro behavior of osteoblasts and mesenchymal stem cells
(2017-12-01)
Article
Open Access© Copyright 2017, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.The fabrication of calcium phosphates using biomimetic routes, namely, precipitation processes at body temperature, results in distinct features compared to conventional sintered ... -
Osteoinduction by foamed and 3D-printed calcium phosphate scaffolds: effect of nanostructure and pore architecture
(2017-12-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySome biomaterials are osteoinductive, that is, they are able to trigger the osteogenic process by inducing the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to the osteogenic lineage. Although the underlying mechanism is still ... -
Evaluation of bone formation in calcium phosphate scaffolds with mu CT-method validation using SEM
(2017-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThere is a plethora of calcium phosphate (CaP) scaffolds used as synthetic substitutes to bone grafts. The scaffold performance is often evaluated from the quantity of bone formed within or in direct contact with the ... -
Mechanical characterisation and biomechanical and biological behaviours of Ti-Zr Binary-Alloy dental implants
(2017-11-29)
Article
Open AccessThe objective of the study is to characterise the mechanical properties of Ti-15Zr binary alloy dental implants and to describe their biomechanical behaviour as well as their osseointegration capacity compared with the ... -
Towards the cell-instructive bactericidal substrate: exploring the combination of nanotopographical features and integrin selective synthetic ligands
(Macmillan Publishers, 2017-11-27)
Article
Open AccessEngineering the interface between biomaterials and tissues is important to increase implant lifetime and avoid failures and revision surgeries. Permanent devices should enhance attachment and differentiation of stem cells, ... -
Direct laser interference patterning of CoCr alloy surfaces to control endothelial cell and platelet response for cardiovascular applications
(2017-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe 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 ... -
A novel strategy to enhance interfacial adhesion in fiber-reinforced calcium phosphate cement
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)
Article
Open AccessCalcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are extensively used as synthetic bone grafts, but their poor toughness limits their use to non-load-bearing applications. Reinforcement through introduction of fibers and yarns has been ... -
In vitro degradation of calcium phosphates: Effect of multiscale porosity, textural properties and composition
(2017-09-15)
Article
Open AccessThe capacity of calcium phosphates to be replaced by bone is tightly linked to their resorbability. However, the relative importance of some textural parameters on their degradation behavior is still unclear. The present ... -
Differential neuronal and glial behavior on flat and micro patterned chitosan films
(2017-10-01)
Article
Open AccessChitosan is a biodegradable natural polysaccharide that has been widely studied for regenerative purposes in the central nervous system. In this study we assessed the in vitro glial and neuronal cells response to chitosan ... -
Elastic properties and strain-to-crack-initiation of calcium phosphate bone cements: revelations of a high-resolution measurement technique
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)
Article
Open AccessCalcium phosphate cements (CPCs) should ideally have mechanical properties similar to those of the bone tissue the material is used to replace or repair. Usually, the compressive strength of the CPCs is reported and, more ... -
A genetic algorithm optimized fractal model to predict the constriction resistance from surface roughness measurements
(2017-06-09)
Article
Open AccessThe electrical contact resistance greatly influences the thermal behavior of substation connectors and other electrical equipment. During the design stage of such electrical devices, it is essential to accurately predict ...
