Synthesis and deposition of silver nanoparticles on cp Ti by laser ablation in open air for antibacterial effect in dental implants
(Elsevier, 2018-07-30)
Silver nanoparticles have been synthetized and deposited on cp Ti substrates in one-step process by the use of laser ablation in open air. The nanoparticles are produced by ablating Ag foil using two ...
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 ...
Antibacterial approaches in tissue engineering using metal ions and nanoparticles: from mechanisms to applications
(Elsevier, 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 ...
Direct extrusion of individually encapsulated endothelial and smooth muscle cells mimicking blood vessel structures and vascular native cell alignment
(IOP Science, 2020)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are considered the principal cause of worldwide death, being atherosclerosis the main etiology. Up to now, the predominant treatment for CVDs has been bypass surgery from ...
Early short-term postoperative mechanical failures of current ceramic-on-ceramic bearing total hip arthroplasties
(MDPI, 2020)
Although ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings have been shown to produce the smallest amount of wear volume in vitro as well as in vivo studies when used for total hip arthroplasties (THA), concerns about ...
All-in-one trifunctional strategy: a cell adhesive, bacteriostatic and bactericidal coating for titanium implants
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
Strategies to inhibit initial bacterial adhesion are extremely important to prevent infection on biomaterial surfaces. However, the simultaneous attraction of desired eukaryotic cells remains a challenge ...
Development of tantalum scaffold for orthopaedic applications produced by space-holder method
(Elsevier, 2015-10-15)
In the present study, production of tantalum porous scaffolds using the space holder technique was performed. The effect of size and content of sodium chloride particles, used as space holder, as well ...
RE-irradiation of silver nanoparticles obtained by laser ablation in water and assessment of their antibacterial effect
(Elsevier, 2018-12-20)
The rapid evolution of resistant bacteria is a huge problem in medicine because makes the treatment of infections more and more difficult. The bactericidal properties of noble metal nanoparticles could ...
Biofunctionalization with a TGFβ-1 inhibitor peptide in the osseointegration of synthetic bone grafts: an in vivo study in beagle dogs
(MDPI, 2019-09-27)
Objectives: The aim of this research was to determine the osseointegration of two presentations of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) biomaterial—one untreated and another submitted to biofunctionalization ...
Antibiotic-loaded polypropylene surgical meshes with suitable biological behaviour by plasma functionalization and polymerization
(Elsevier, 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 ...
