In order to take advantage of the surface bioactivity of bioactive glass and minimize the use of autograft, we have developed a Bioactive Glass Collagen Anorganic Bone Composite (BiFORM® Bioactive Moldable Matrix). ...
They affect endothelial cell function as well as migration, proliferation, Ca2+ signaling, and contraction of vascular smooth muscle cells. MMPs can also affect cell surface bioactive molecules and regulate various cellular and signaling pathways. ...
Current efforts are focusing on increasing the bioactivity of PEEK with surface modifications to improve the bone-implant interface. We used a novel Accelerated Neutral Atom Beam (ANAB) technology to enhance the bioactivity of PEEK. Human osteoblast-like cells seeded on ANAB-treated PEEK result in significantly enhanced proliferation compared ...
Doping Si caused graphitisation of C and reduced the surface hardness. Moreover, the surface roughness of the films decreased with the Si content, which consequently decreased the water contact angle of the film surfaces. Such hydrophilic property reveals the possibility of applying Si–doped amorphous diamond–like carbon films as a ...
Recent efforts have focused on increasing the bioactivity of PEEK by modifying the surface to improve the bone-implant interface. ...
