Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are widely used in the field of bone regeneration,
both in orthopedics and in dentistry, due to their good biocompatibility, osseointegration and …

Our populations are aging. Some experts predict that 30% of hospital beds will soon be
occupied by osteoporosis patients. Statistics show that 20% of patients suffering from an …

The discovery of osteoinductivity of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) ceramics has set an enduring
paradigm of conferring biological regenerative activity to materials with carefully designed …

In this study, we investigated the influence of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) coating on
osteoinductive behaviour of the biomaterials. Porous titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V), hydroxyapatite …

Biomaterials can be endowed with biologically instructive properties by changing basic
parameters such as elasticity and surface texture. However, translation from in vitro proof of …

Research on biomaterials has been growing in the last few years due to the clinical needs in
organs and tissues replacement and regeneration. In addition, cancer nanomedicine has …

Some biomaterials are osteoinductive, that is, they are able to trigger the osteogenic process
by inducing the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to the osteogenic lineage …

In the past thirty years, a number of biomaterials have shown the ability to induce bone
formation when implanted at heterotopic sites, an ability known as osteoinduction. Such …

Bone is a complex biologic tissue, which is extremely relevant for various physiological
functions, in addition to movement, organ protection, and weight bearing. The repair of …

In order to unravel the mechanism of osteoinduction by biomaterials, in this study we
investigated the influence of the specific surface area on osteoinductive properties of two …
