The area of implant osseointegration is of major importance, given the predicted significant
rise in the number of orthopaedic procedures and an increasingly ageing population …

This paper reviews current approaches to the enhancement of bone regeneration at the
interface with implant devices, by immobilization of biomolecules to titanium surfaces. In …

Electrospun collagen-blended poly (L-lactic acid)-co-poly (∈-caprolactone)[P (LLA-CL), 70:
30] nanofiber may have great potential application in tissue engineering because it mimicks …

Cell‐surface interactions play a crucial role for biomaterial application in orthopaedics. It is
evident that not only the chemical composition of solid substances influence cellular …

The actin and microtubule cytoskeleton have been found to contribute to the elastic modulus
of cells, which may be modulated by adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and …

Reported bone-implant contact percentages are far below the ideal 100%. We tested a
hypothesis that the protein adsorption capability of titanium, which is critical to the process of …

The management of periodontal defects has been an ongoing challenge in clinical
periodontics. This is mainly a result of the fact that the tissues which comprise the …

Biomaterials not only serve as scaffolds for bone regeneration, but may also exhibit
inductive capability for bone growth. The goal of this study was to identify the best …

Interactions between bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem cells (BM-HSCs) and their
local microenvironment are an integral part of signaling control of BM-HSCs migration …

The need for techniques to facilitate the regeneration of failing or destroyed tissues remains
great with the aging of the worldwide population and the continued incidence of trauma and …
