Spinel (magnesium aluminate MgAl2 O4 ) ceramic-based polyphasic composite scaffold has been recently reported for craniofacial bone tissue engineering. Improving the osteogenic effects of such composite scaffolds with bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP2) is an intensely researched area. This study investigated the gene interactions of this scaffold w...

One specific capillary subtype, termed type H vessel, has been found with unique functional characteristics in coupling angiogenesis with osteogenesis. Researchers have fabricated a variety of tissue engineering scaffolds to enhance bone healing and regeneration through the accumulation of type H vessels. However, only a limited number of reviews d...

Vascular graft failure has persisted as a major clinical problem. Mechanical, structural, and transport properties of vascular grafts are critical factors that substantially affect their function and thus the outcome of implantation. The manufacturing method, post-processing technique, and material of choice have a significant impact on these prope...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has become increasingly popular in dentistry and orthopedics due to its excellent chemical stability, reliable biosafety, and low elastic modulus. However, PEEK's biomechanical strength and bioactivity are limited and need to be increased as an implant material. The previous study in vitro has shown that the amino-functi...

The development of vascularized scaffolds remains one of the major challenges in tissue engineering, and co-culturing with endothelial cells is known as one of the possible approaches for this purpose. In this approach, optimization of cell culture conditions, scaffolds, and fabrication techniques is needed to develop tissue equivalents that will e...

The objective was to synthesize and characterize fine polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers associated with a new 58S bioglass obtained by the precipitated sol-gel route, produced by the electrospinning process in order to incorporate therapeutic ions (Mg and Li). In PCL/acetone solutions were added 7% pure bioglass, bioglass doped with Mg(NO3 )2 and Li2 C...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) will lead to irreversible damage of sensory and motor function of central nervous system, which seriously affects patient's quality of life. A variety of nerve engineering materials carrying various stem cells and cell growth factors had used to promote the repair of SCI, but they could not mimic the actual matric niche at ...

The study verified the influence of calcium orthophosphate (CaP):glass ratio on the degree of conversion and mechanical properties of resin-based composites containing either TEGDMA-functionalized dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA) or non-functionalized DCPA particles. The null hypotheses were that the evaluated variables are not affected by (1) ...

Zirconia is a promising material for dental implant with its excellent biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, and esthetic effect similar to natural teeth. To improve the bioactivity and osteogenic properties of zirconia, pre-sintered zirconia discs were divided into C, T3 , T5 , and T7 group. Group C was as control. T3 , T5 , and T7 groups ...

Small fracture treatment includes the use of so-called "Herbert screws". In the past years, novel resorbable materials were introduced as an alternative to the classical titanium implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of ongoing resorption/corrosion processes on the mechanical stability screws made from the magnesium allo...
