Understanding of the complicated interactions between biomaterials and cells can accelerate biomedical developments. Recently, many in vitro studies have emphasized the biological features of nanowires (NWs) on the cell’s early response. A type of unique clustered anatase/rutile NWs (ARNWs) was generated using a simple hydrothermal reaction on tita...

A finite-strain theory for the study of the overall behavior of polymeric gels containing microvoids is presented. The swollen porous polymeric gel is modeled as a two-component body composed of two incompressible materials, namely, an elastic porous polymer imbibed with a solvent. The chemical equilibrium is assumed to be preponderate at the inter...

In this work, chemical crosslinking with N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N’-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) was studied in type I collagen-chitosan (Col I-CS) membranes for their use in guided bone regeneration (GBR). The membranes were prepared in a wide range of Col I-CS proportions, produced in the form of films by the solvent evaporation techni...

Surface modification of medical and dental devices, to improve their biocorrosion resistance and biocompatibility, can be achieved with the multidisciplinary field of biomaterials. Nanostructured titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been employed as surface modifier of titanium-based biomaterials because it can prevent the failure of the devices due to wear...

Functional electrical stimulation is a method of repairing a dysfunctional limb in a stroke patient by using low-intensity electrical stimulation. Currently, it is widely used in smart medical treatment for limb rehabilitation in stroke patients. In this paper, the development of FES systems is sorted out and analyzed in a time order. Then, the pro...
