Shortcomings related to the treatment of bone diseases and consequent tissue regeneration
such as transplants have been addressed to some extent by tissue engineering and …

Membrane fouling remains a tremendous obstacle in the implementation of membrane
technology, which has motivated the use of a wide range of experimental techniques to …

Water/oxide interfaces are ubiquitous on earth and show significant influence on many
chemical processes. For example, understanding water and solute adsorption as well as …

Neutrophils, the first immune cells infiltrating an implantation site, play a central role in the
immune response to biomaterial-based implants. They initiate inflammation by secreting pro …

Adsorption of BMP-2 on hydrophobic gold and hydrophilic silicon nitride is studied using
molecular dynamics simulations. The wetting behavior of the dissolution media directly …

Protein adsorption on surfaces is used in analytical tools as an immobilization mean to trap
the analyte to be detected. However, protein adsorption can lead to a conformational …

In serval experimental researches, UV-induced hydrophilicity enabled better
hemocompatibility in the TiO 2 surface, which was considered to be caused by the removal …

Abstract Functionalized nanotubes (NTs), nanosheets, nanorods, and porous
organometallic scaffolds are potential in vivo carriers for cancer therapeutics. Precise …

Nanostructuring is a process involving surface manipulation at the nanometric level, which
improves the mechanical and biological properties of biomaterials. Specifically, it affects the …

The interaction between bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and the surface of
biomaterials is essential for the restoration of bone and cartilage tissue, inducing cellular …
