Systemic adoptive T lymphocyte transfer is an emerging cancer immunotherapy showing tremendous promise in clinical studies, and its success lies in the ability of the antigen-experienced cytotoxic T lymphocytes cTL to access and to persist in the tumour microenvironment 1 ...
Development of a Novel Method for the Strengthening and Toughening of Irradiation-Sterilized Bone Allografts used in Orthopaedic Reconstructions
comments
Over 900,000 bone-grafting procedures are performed each year in the USA 1 . Human bone allografts are used in the orthopaedic reconstruction of skeletal defects resulting from traumatic injuries, diseases and revision arthroplasty however, bone allografts have insufficient mechanical properties 2 and graft fracture is a documented clinical failure mode 3 ...
Metal by-products, including metal ions, released in greater amount from metal-on-metal MM hip implants than from metal-on-polyethylene implants are a cause for concern as they can compromise the functionality and survivorship of the implants due to adverse tissue reactions 1, 2 ...
Biopolymer Functionalization and Nanohydroxyapatite Heat Treatment Affect the Mechanical Properties of Bone-Inspired Extrusion 3D Printed Nanocomposites
comments
As a biological tissue, bone has the ability to remodel itself however, when defects are too large such as caused by traumatic injury or surgical treatment of infections or tumours, bone does not heal effectively...
