Bioactive ECM-based materials mimic the complex composition and structure of natural tissues. Decellularized cancellous bone matrix (DBM) has potential for guiding new bone formation and accelerating the regeneration process. On the other hand, low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic field (LF-PEMF) has been shown to enhance the regeneration capacity ...

Bioprinting of most cell-laden hydrogel scaffolds with the required structural integrity, mechanical modulus, cell adhesion, cell compatibility, and chondrogenic differentiation are still significant issues that affect the application of bioinks in cartilage tissue engineering. This study focuses on constructing printable bioinks by combining adipo...

Dual labeled contrast agents could provide better complementary information for bioimaging than available solely from a single modality. In this paper we investigate the suitability of Yb3+ and Er3+-doped BaYF5 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as both optical and X-ray micro computed tomography (μCT) contrast agents. Stable, aqueous UCNP dispersi...

This work aimed to design montmorillonite-incorporated pH-responsive and magnetic κ-carrageenan/chitosan hydrogels via a completely green route for controlled release of sunitinib anticancer drug. This was accomplished by ionic cross-linking of two biopolymers, κ-carrageenan and chitosan, in the presence of magnetic montmorillonite (mMMt) nanoplate...

This work aimed to study for the first time to our knowledge the influence of the structure of the dental flosses (DF) coated by hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP NPs) on the biological performance of saliva probiotic bacteria (S. salivarius), and human dermal and osteoblast-like cells. We used three types of [email protected] composites (based on two unwaxed...

Peri-implant infection after hip and knee arthroplasty is a common and serious complication. Titanium (Ti), polyethylene (PE), and Al2O3 materials used as joint prosthesis materials have good biocompatibility and mechanical strength but no antibacterial effect. This study aimed to provide a theoretical basis for the design and manufacture of joint ...

Surface biofunctionalization is frequently applied to enhance the functionality and longevity of orthopedic implants. Here, we investigated the osteogenic effects of additively manufactured porous Ti6Al4V implants whose surfaces were biofunctionalized using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in Ca/P-based electrolytes with or without strontium. Va...

The further development of future Magnesium based biodegradable implants must consider not only the freedom of design, but also comprise implant volume reduction, as both aspects are crucial for the development of higher functionalised implants, such as plate systems or scaffold grafts in bone replacement therapy. As conventional manufacturing meth...

The development of theranostic platforms combining surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) imaging with NIR-stimulated photothermal therapy (PTT) is of utmost importance for the precise diagnosis and selective treatment of cancers, especially in superficial solid tumors. For this purpose, a versatile theranostic nanoprobe of liposomal layer-coat...
