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 …

Chitin and chitosan based nanocomposite scaffolds have been widely used for bone tissue
engineering. These chitin and chitosan based scaffolds were reinforced with …

Since various interactions among cells, surrounding tissues and implanted biomaterials
always occur at their interfaces, the surface properties of potential implants appear to be of …

Hydroxyapatite has become an important coating material for bioimplants, following the
introduction of synthetic HAp in the 1950s. The HAp coatings require controlled surface …

Tissue engineering is essentially a technique for imitating nature. Natural tissues consist of
three components: cells, signalling systems (eg growth factors) and extracellular matrix …

The surface of a titanium (Ti) implant was modified by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment.
A porous layer was formed on the Ti surface after the oxidation treatment. The phase and …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) porous scaffold was coated with HA and polycaprolactone (PCL)
composites, and antibiotic drug tetracycline hydrochloride was entrapped within the coating …

Porous biomaterials have been widely used in a variety of orthopedic applications. Porous
scaffolds stimulate the cellular responses and accelerate osteogenesis. The porous …

The current challenge in bone tissue engineering is to fabricate a bioartificial bone graft
mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) with effective bone mineralization, resulting in the …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) was coated onto a titanium (Ti) substrate with the insertion of a titania
(TiO2) buffer layer by the sol–gel method. The HA layer was employed to enhance the …
