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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunological Response in Bovine Lymph Nodes Stimulated with Subunits VaccinesGabriel Andres Tafur Gomez, Marlene Isabel Vargas, Joaquin Hernan Patarroyo Salcedo et al.The vaccination process belongs to the public health intervention methodologies that help prevent infections. Vaccinations performed successfully in the history of medicine reported the significance of this procedure to increase the quality of life, prevent zoonoses and improve animal production. Vaccine emergence remained without exact rules for a long time, maintaining a close relationship with pathogens. However, subunit vaccines, with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,319 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIN VITRO TESTING OF MODIFIED COLLAGEN/ HYALURONAN/BETA-GLUCAN SCAFFOLDJan Vojtassak, Dusan Bakos, Martin Bohac et al.Cells and scaffolds belong to main components of tissue engineering. In this study we have performed in vitro cytotoxicity and biocompatibility testing of modified collagen/hyaluronan/beta-glucan scaffold. We used direct contact assay as well as MTT test. Human adipose tissue-derived stem cells were used as biological model. According to obtained results, we can summarize, that modified collagen/hyaluronan/beta-glucan scaffold is non-toxic and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2013 · 7,214 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth of Bone Marrow Derived Osteoblast-Like Cells into Coral Implant Scaffold: Preliminary Study on Malaysian CoralK. A. AL-SalihiProblem statement: Biomaterial fabrication in Malaysia started as a consequence of the demand for cheaper implant materials. Various biomaterials have been developed utilizing local resources like Malaysian coral. Locally processed Malaysian coral need to be complemented with proper evaluation and testing including toxicology, biocompatibility, mechanical properties, physicochemical characterization and in vivo testing. The present study was carried out to assess … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,590 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGene Technology in Tissue EngineeringXiao-Dan Sun, In-Seop LeeScaffold, cells and signaling factors are regarded as the three essential components in tissue engineering. With the development of molecular and cell biology, gene technology is beginning to show a promising position in tissue engineering as it can influence these essential components at DNA-level. By introducing plasmid DNA or genes encoding certain signaling factors (growth factors/cytokines) into the cells, required … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,401 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Process of Porous Tantalum Implants Osseous Integration a ReviewChristos G. Paganias, George A. Tsakotos, Stephanos D. Koutsostathis, George A. MacherasPorous tantalum is a biomaterial that was recently introduced in orthopaedics in order to overcome problems of the past related to implant loosening. Its use has led to very good results, especially in difficult cases where severe bone defect is present, as it is found to have osteoconductive and possibly, osteoinductive properties. So, it is of great interest to shed … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 22 Apr 2015 · 7,847 accessesView PDF Cite
