Antibacterial approaches in tissue engineering using metal ions and nanoparticles: from mechanisms to applications
(Bioactive Materials, 2021-12)Bacterial infection of implanted scaffolds may have fatal consequences and, in combination with the emergence of multidrug bacterial resistance, the development of advanced antibacterial biomaterials ... -
Antibacterial coatings on titanium surfaces: a comparison study between in vitro single-species and multispecies biofilm
(ACS applied materials and interfaces, 2015)Dental plaque is a biofilm that causes dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Most of the studies in antibacterial coatings have been conducted by in vitro single-species biofilm formation, but ... -
Antibacterial properties of hLf1-11 peptide onto titanium surfaces: a comparison study between silanization and surface initiated polymerization
(Biomacromolecules, 2015)Dental implant failure can be associated with infections that develop into peri-implantitis. In order to reduce biofilm formation, several strategies focusing on the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) ... -
Antibacterial properties of triethoxysilylpropyl succinic anhydride silane (TESPSA) on titanium dental implants
(Polymers, 2020)Infections related to dental implants are a common complication that can ultimately lead to implant failure, and thereby carries significant health and economic costs. In order to ward off these infections, ... -
Antibiotic-loaded polypropylene surgical meshes with suitable biological behaviour by plasma functionalization and polymerization
(Biomaterials, 2015-12)Hernia repair is one of the most common operations in general surgery, and its associated complications typically relate to infections, among others. The loading of antibiotics to surgical meshes to ... -
Antibody conversion rates to SARS-CoV-2 in saliva from children attending summer schools in Barcelona, Spain
(BMC Medicine, 2021)Background: Surveillance tools to estimate viral transmission dynamics in young populations are essential to guide recommendations for school opening and management during viral epidemics. Ideally, ... -
Antifouling coatings for dental implants: PEG-like coatings on titanium by plasma polymerization
(Biointerphases: an open access journal for the biomaterials interface community, 2015-06)Titanium dental implants are commonly used for the replacement of lost teeth, but they present a considerable number of failures due to the infection on surrounding tissues. The aim of this paper is the ... -
Antihéroes que sufren trauma por estrés postraumático y villanos con trastorno de personalidad narcisista: el cisma de los problemas de salud mental en el cine
(Revista de Medicina y Cine, 2024)Actualmente existe una tendencia hacia la introducción de problemas de salud mental en los protagonistas de películas, particularmente en los antihéroes. Este hecho contrasta con la tradicional asociación ... -
Antimicrobial GL13K peptide coatings killed and ruptured the wall of streptococcus gordonii and prevented formation and growth of biofilms
(PLoS ONE, 2014)Infection is one of the most prevalent causes for dental implant failure. We have developed a novel antimicrobial peptide coating on titanium by immobilizing the antimicrobial peptide GL13K. GL13K was ... -
Antimicrobial peptides: powerful biorecognition elements to detect bacteria in biosensing technologies
(Molecules, 2018-07-10)Bacterial infections represent a serious threat in modern medicine. In particular, biofilm treatment in clinical settings is challenging, as biofilms are very resistant to conventional antibiotic therapy ... -
Antiretroviral therapy suppressed participants withlow CD4RT-cell counts segregate according toopposite immunological phenotypes
(AIDS, 2016-09)Background:The failure to increase CD4þT-cell counts in some antiretroviral therapysuppressed participants (immunodiscordance) has been related to perturbed CD4þT-cell homeostasis and impacts clinical ... -
