Desde la Transición Demográfica y Epidemiológica, marco conceptual de nuestra investigación, planteamos qué ocurrió en la provincia de Tarragona entre 1900 y 1935 (antes de la Guerra Civil española). A ...
Mimicking bone extracellular matrix: integrin-binding peptidomimetics enhance osteoblast-like cells adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation on titanium
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)
Interaction between the surface of implants and biological tissues is a key aspect of biomaterials research. Apart from fulfilling the non-toxicity and structural requirements, synthetic materials are ...
Therapeutically relevant aspects in bone repair and regeneration
(Springer Nature, 2015-12)
Over the past few years, attention has been focused on the therapeutic roles in designing bone scaffolds for successful repair and regeneration. Indeed, biologically dynamic events in the bone healing ...
