The process of bone formation, remodelling and healing involves a coordinated action of
various cell types. Advances in understanding the biology of osteoblast cells during these …

Bone regeneration after injury or after surgical bone removal due to disease is a serious
medical challenge. A variety of materials are being tested to replace a missing bone or tooth …

Biomimetic functional scaffolds for tissue engineering should fulfil specific requirements
concerning structural, bio-chemical and electro-mechanical characteristics, depending on …

Immortalized cell lines are used more frequently in basic and applied biology research than
primary bone‐derived cells because of their ease of access and repeatability of results in …

In vitro cytotoxicity testing is an indispensable part of the development of new biomaterials.
However, the standard ISO 10993-5 enables variability in the testing conditions, which …

The aim of this paper was to design and fabricate a novel composite scaffold based on the
combination of 3D-printed polylactic acid-based triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs) …

Implant-related infection of biomaterials is one of the main causes of arthroplasty and
osteosynthesis failure. Bacteria, such as the rapidly-emerging Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) …

Abstract Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a widely used process for the treatment of
periodontal defects to prevent the formation of surrounding soft tissue at the periodontal …

Aseptic loosening subsequent to periprosthetic osteolysis is the leading cause for the
revision of arthroplasty failure. The biological response of macrophages to wear debris has …

Plasma-treatment of oral implant biomaterials prior to clinical insertion is envisaged as a
potential surface modification method for enhanced implant healing. To investigate a …
