The clinical success of endosseous implants is associated with the formation and
maintenance of bone at implant surfaces. Histologic analyses have indicated that bone …

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been used in a range of optoelectronic
applications. 1 It has recently been shown that QDs can be used as nonisotopic biolabels …

The influence of nanostructure on the cytocompatibility of cellulose films is analyzed
providing insight into how physicochemical properties of surface modified microfibrillated …

Implants made of magnesium (Mg) are increasingly employed in patients to achieve
osteosynthesis while degrading in situ. Since Mg implants and Mg 2+ have been suggested …

A clear understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the protein-resistant nature of end-
tethered poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) surfaces remains elusive. A barrier to improved …

In order to design antithrombotic implants, the effect of extreme wettability
(superhydrophilicity to superhydrophobicity) on the biocompatibility of the metallic substrates …

An affinity biosensor interface of a biosensor is the interface between the sample and the
transducer surface and is therefore of the utmost importance for the general performance of …

The inflammatory and fibrous responses in a subcutaneous rat model were evaluated
around degradable polyurethane urea (PUUR; Artelon®), with titanium and tissue culture …

A wettability gradient was prepared on low‐density polyethylene (PE) sheets by treating
them in air with a corona from a knife‐type electrode the power of which increased gradually …
