Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe 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

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanically Stimulated Osteoblast Cells GrowthRaffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Francesco Tamburrino, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe bones need to be built and then permanently restored to keep them functioning properly. Considering the multiple bone functions, their vitality is essential both to maintain the body and move it and to maintain its health and vigor. When most bones begin to age and have no vital function, the man also begins to age, lose water, minerals, electrolytes, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2018 · 7,882 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 accessIn the abstractNano-Diamond Hybrid Materials for Structural Biomedical ApplicationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion T. PetrescuThe development of new diamond based bio-mechanically active hybrid nano-structured scaffolds for cartilage cells tissue engineering are proposed in this study. Innovative tissue engineering biomimetic materials based on hydrogel have shown attractive physical, biological and mechanical properties in several biomedical applications. A highly biocompatible novel hybrid material based on nanodiamonds and hydrophilic poly-(hydroxyl-ethyl-methacrylate) (pHEMA) is proposed. The aim of this … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2017 · 9,183 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiologic Human Fluids and Swelling Behavior of Hydrophilic Biocompatible Hybrid Ceramo-Polymeric MaterialsAversa Raffaella, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Apicella Antonio, Florian Ion T. PetrescuAll synthetic and natural materials to be used in biomedical applications that involve the contact with human body need to be investigated for their physical and chemical modification induced by the human physiological fluids contact and sorption. The development and testing in human physiological equivalent fluids of new hybrid biomaterials are presented. The role of water and its equilibrium modification … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Nov 2016 · 8,387 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Degrading Calcium Phosphate on the Remodelling and Mineralisation of Avascular Osseous Tissue in a Rat Calvaria ModelTulio Fernandez, Carlos H. Valencia, Yuann Li et al.Artificial bone graftingis the subject of intensive investigation for craniofacial reconstruction. Among the syntheticcandi date materials, those incorporating Calcium Phosphates (CaP) have gained popularity, due to their osteoinductive properties. Despite many quantitative studies on the degradation rates of CaP biomaterials in vitro, there is lack of quantitative studies in relation to bone remodelling kinetics in vivo. In this investigation, we … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2014 · 7,208 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue EngineeringMin WangBiomaterial and scaffold development underpins the advancement of tissue engineering. Traditional scaffolds based on biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactic acid) and poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) are weak and non-osteoconductive. For bone tissue engineering, polymer-based composite scaffolds containing bioceramics such as hydroxyapatite can be produced and used. The bioceramics can be either incorporated in the scaffolds as a dispersed secondary phase or … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,355 accessesView PDF Cite
