Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanoceramic Matrices: Biomedical ApplicationsWilli Paul, Chandra P. SharmaNatural bone consisted of calcium phosphate with nanometer-sized needle-like crystals of approximately 5-20 nm width by 60 nm length. Synthetic calcium phosphates and Bioglass are biocompatible and bioactive as they bond to bone and enhance bone tissue formation. This property is attributed to their similarity with the mineral phase of natural bone except its constituent particle size. Calcium phosphate ceramics … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,361 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nano-Diamond CompositesAntonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThis paper discusses a new class of bio-mechanical scaffolds active for tissue engineering based on a nano-diamond-filled hydrophilic polymer matrix. The new biomaterials used have special mechanical and biological properties for which they should be extensively studied for their use for various advanced biomedical applications. The new hybrid material has been prepared using 2 and 5% by volume of detonating … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 May 2018 · 8,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeriodontal Bone Substitutes Application Techniques and Cost Evaluation: A ReviewJamaluddin Syed, Najmus Sahar, Raffaella Aversa et al.Bioactive Materials have been used since decades but the researches on these materials are still continuing in phase. This material got extra ordinary attention by the scientist and researchers. Bioactive material has ability to bind itself chemically with natural bone tissues. Bioactive materials bring revolution in the field of bone repair and implantology. Bioactive materials have also ability to effect … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Nov 2016 · 8,686 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Protective acute inflammatory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpression Pattern of the Orphan Nuclear Receptor, Nurr1, in the Developing Mouse Forelimb and its Relationship to Limb Skeletogenesis and OsteogenesisHeba A. Ahmed, Lidia L. Ibrahim, Desouki A. El Mekkawy, Abeer El WakilThe NR4A orphan nuclear receptor, Nurr1, has been shown to regulate the expression of osteoblastic genes and osteoblastic differentiation. However, the expression profile of Nurr1 in the developing mouse forelimb and its relationship to skeletogenesis has not, to the best of our knowledge, been previously analyzed. In this study, the relationship between Nurr1 expression pattern, skeletogenesis and osteogenesis in the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2015 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSclerostin: A Novel Key to Bone and Dental TreatmentGalli Carlo, Lumetti Simone, Manfredi Edoardo et al.Problem statement: Tooth loss can induce dramatical remodeling of alveolar bone because of mechanical loading impairment and strategies to help maintain adequate bone levels for subsequent therapies are sorely needed. Recent discoveries have shown that osteocytes, matrix-embedded cells in bone, respond to mechanical stimulation by modulating the expression of the Sost gene, which encodes for the protein sclerostin. This protein … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2013 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCiprofloxacin Induced Chondrotoxicity and TendinopathyElias Adikwu, Nelson BrambaifaCiprofloxacin is one of the fluoroquinolones with a wide clinical acceptability. Rescently there are increasing reports on Ciprofloxacin induce Chondrotoxicity and Tendinopathy in Animal experiment and clinical experience which is of great clinical concern. A comprehensive survey and review of literaure on reported ciprofloxacin induced Chondrotoxicity and Tendinopathy in Humans and Animals was performed. It was observd that ciprofloxacin is … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 19 Oct 2012 · 10,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunodeficiency Provides Partial Protection from Bone Loss Induced by Castration and OvariectomyCedo M. Bagi, Edwin Berryman, Nels Hanson et al.Problem Statement: The interaction of osteoblasts and osteoclasts with cells of the immune system has been suggested as a contributing factor in the development of osteoporoses. Evidence from studies in rodents suggests that T cells play a significant role in bone loss following estrogen deficiency. The goal of this study was to investigate whether the lack of functional T cells … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
