Polypropylene (PP) surgical meshes, with different knitted architectures, were chemically functionalized with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 4-mercaptothiazole (4-MB) to transform their fibers into a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detectable plastic material. The application of a thin layer of poly[N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,N'-methylene ...

Customized alveolar bone augmentation provides sufficient and precisely regenerated bone tissue for subsequent dental implant placement. Although some clinical cases have confirmed the successful use of the patient-specific polyetheretherketone (PEEK) scaffolds, the biomechanical property and osteogenic performance of the patient-specific PEEK scaf...

Dexamethasone (DEX) has been widely used to treat a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, allergies, ocular disorders, cancer, and, more recently, COVID-19. However, DEX usage is often restricted in the clinic due to its poor water solubility. When administered through a systemic route, it can elicit severe side effects, such as hyper...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has emerged as a major public health problem affecting millions of people worldwide without specific and satisfactory therapies due to the lack of an effective delivery approach. In the past few decades, hydrogels present infinite potential in localized drug delivery, while their poor adhesion to moist tissue and isotropic...

Biomaterials at nanoscale is a fast-expanding research field with which extensive studies have been conducted on understanding the interactions between cells and their surrounding microenvironments as well as intracellular communications. Among many kinds of nanoscale biomaterials, mesoporous fibrous structures are especially attractive as a promis...

The use of biomaterials for the inclusion and stabilization of biopolymers is an ongoing challenge. Herein, we disclose three-dimensional (3D) coiled-coil peptide crystals with metal ions that include and overgrow His-tagged fluorescent proteins within the crystal. The protein guests are found within two symmetry-related growth sectors of the cryst...

Subperiosteal implants represent an alternative implant approach for cases with severe bone atrophy. Although some successful clinical cases have been reported, the biomechanical stability of subperiosteal implants remains unclear, and more data are needed to confirm the feasibility of this approach. Therefore, this study investigated the biomechan...

It is the intention of this study to elucidate the nested formation of calcium carbonate polymorphs or polyamorphs in the different nanosized compartments. With these observations, it can be concluded how the bacteria can survive in a harsh environment with high calcium carbonate supersaturation. The mechanisms of calcium carbonate precipitation at...

Dental implantation is an effective method for the treatment of loose teeth, but the threaded dental implants used in the clinic cannot match with the tooth extraction socket. A root analogue implant (RAI) has the congruence shape, which reduces the damage to bone and soft tissue. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have the advantages of high...
