The increasing need for joint replacement surgeries, musculoskeletal repairs, and
orthodontics worldwide prompts emerging technologies to evolve with healthcare's …

Bone tissue engineering is a rapidly developing area. Engineering bone typically uses an
artificial extracellular matrix (scaffold), osteoblasts or cells that can become osteoblasts, and …

Two important goals in stem cell research are to control the cell proliferation without
differentiation and to direct the differentiation into a specific cell lineage when desired. Here …

Initial attachment of osteoblast cells and mineralization phenomena are generally enhanced
on rough, sandblasted substrata. In the present work the effect of surface roughness of …

Select functions of osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) on nanophase (materials with grain
sizes less than 100nm) alumina, titania, and hydroxyapatite (HA) were investigated using in …

A particulate-leaching method was developed to prepare highly porous biodegradable
polymer membranes. It involves the casting of polymer/salt composite membranes followed …

Tissue engineering has shown great promise for creating biological alternatives for implants.
In this approach, scaffolding plays a pivotal role. Hydroxyapatite mimics the natural bone …

Osteoblast, fibroblast, and endothelial cell adhesion on nanophase (that is, materials with
grain sizes less than 100 nm) alumina, titania, and hydroxyapatite (HA) was investigated …

The titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotube surface enables significantly accelerated osteoblast
adhesion and exhibits strong bonding with bone. We prepared various sizes (30–100nm …

Biomaterials: Principles and Applications offers a comprehensive review of all the major
biomaterials in this rapidly growing field. In recent years, the role of biomaterials has been …
