Hip and knee joint replacements are common and largely successful procedures that utilise
implants to restore mobility and relieve pain for patients suffering from eg osteoarthritis …

To fix the bone in orthopedics, it is almost always necessary to use implants. Metals provide
the needed physical and mechanical properties for load-bearing applications. Although …

Rationale: We found that a subset of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3
(STAT3) translocated into mitochondria in phagocytes, including macrophages isolated from …

This topical review describes the salient results of recent research on silicon nitride, a
ceramic material with unique properties. The outcome of this ongoing research strongly …

Silicon nitride ceramics excel by superior mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties that
render the material suitable for applications in several technologically challenging fields. In …

Titanium and its alloys have been utilized as the preferred material for dental implants due to
its mechanical and biological performance leading to high clinical success rates …

This work aimed to improve the rapid biodegradation, poor wear resistance properties, and
lack of bioactivity of metallic biomaterials to be used in orthopedic applications. In this …

For decades, titanium has been the preferred material for dental implant fabrication.
However, metallic ions and particles can cause hypersensitivity and aseptic loosening. The …

The hydrolytic processes occurring at the surface of silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) bioceramic have
been indicated as a powerful pathway to instantaneous inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 virus …

Nanomaterials (NMs) are increasingly used in medical treatments, electronics, and food
additives. However, nanosafety—the possible adverse effects of NMs on human health—is …
