New trends in the development of multifunctional peptides to functionalize biomaterials
(2021-05-24)
Article
Open AccessImproving cell-material interactions is a major goal in tissue engineering. In thisregard, functionalization of biomaterials with cell instructive molecules from theextracellular matrix stands out as a powerful strategy ... -
Analysis of the Jahn-Teller effect in coronene and corannulene ions and its effect in EPR spectroscopy
(Elsevier BV, 2021-06)
Article
Open AccessCoronene and corannulene are popular structures that have provided the basis for the investigation of extended carbon-based structures, like graphene, fullerene and their derivatives. Here we address the Jahn-Teller (JT) ... -
Powder metallurgy with space holder for porous titanium implants: A review
(2021-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyOne of the biggest challenges in the biocompatibility of implantable metals is the prevention of the stress shielding effect, which is related to the coupling of the bone-metal mechanical properties. This stress shielding ... -
Mithramycin delivery systems to develop effective therapies in sarcomas
(Springer Nature, 2021-12)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria del Principado de AsturiasSarcomas comprise a group of aggressive malignancies with very little treatment options beyond standard chemotherapy. Reposition of approved drugs represents an attractive approach to identify effective therapeutic compounds. ... -
Mineralization of titanium surfaces: biomimetic implants
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-05-27)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universitat Internacional de Catalunya / Universidad de SevillaThe surface modification by the formation of apatitic compounds, such as hydroxyapatite, improves biological fixation implants at an early stage after implantation. The structure, which is identical to mineral content of ... -
Selectivity of direct plasma treatment and plasma-conditioned media in bone cancer cell lines
(Nature, 2021-12)
Article
Open AccessAtmospheric pressure plasma jets have been shown to impact several cancer cell lines, both in vitro and in vivo. These effects are based on the biochemistry of the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species generated by plasmas ... -
Zn-Mg and Zn-Cu alloys for stenting applications: From nanoscale mechanical characterization to in vitro degradation and biocompatibility
(2021-12)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Institut de Bioenginyeria de CatalunyaIn the recent decades, zinc (Zn) and its alloys have been drawing attention as promising candidates for bioresorbable cardiovascular stents due to its degradation rate more suitable than magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe) alloys. ... -
3D printing non-cylindrical strands: morphological and structural implications
(Elsevier, 2021-10-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Mimetis Biomaterials / Universidade de VigoConventional direct ink writing uses circular nozzles and, therefore, results in cylindrical strands. 3D printing with non-circular nozzles adds new degrees of freedom to this versatile technology, and allows obtaining ... -

Covenantee: Mimetis Biomaterials / Universitat Internacional de Catalunya / Universitat de Barcelona. Departament de Patologia i Terapèutica ExperimentalObjectives This study aimed to compare the performance of a xenograft (XG) and a biomimetic synthetic graft (SG) in three-wall alveolar defects in minipigs by means of 3D computerised tomography and histology. Materials ... -
Citric acid passivation of titanium dental implants for minimizing bacterial colonization impact
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-02-12)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Universitat Internacional de Catalunya / Barcelona Dental InstituteSurface topography and physical-chemical properties usually play a key-role in both osseointegration improvement and bacterial colonization reduction over the surface of dental implants. The aim of this study is to compare ... -
In vitro assessment of PEEK and titanium implant abutments: screw loosening and microleakage evaluations under dynamic mechanical testing
(2020-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy
Covenantee: Universitat Internacional de CatalunyaStatement of problem. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been advocated to replace metal components in dentistry. Although PEEK is a high-performance polymer with a white color, adequate biological response, and resistance ... -
Functionalization strategies and fabrication of solvent-cast PLLA for bioresorbable stents
(MDPI, 2021-02-06)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology / BOKU Universität für Bodenkultur WienActual polymer bioresorbable stents (BRS) generate a risk of device thrombosis as a consequence of the incomplete endothelialization after stent implantation. The material-tissue interactions are not fully controlled and ...
