Improved Properties of 3D Printed Nanocomposite Biomaterials Composed of Functionalized Biopolymers and Calcium-Deficient Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles
comments
3D printable bio-based nanocomposites are a promising material for biomedical applications, such as in dentistry, skeletal reconstruction, and sustainable rapid prototyping 1 2 ...
Injectable hydrogels have received much attention to be used as scaffolds for therapeutic cell delivery because of their interesting properties such as biocompatibility, ability to retain water, insignificant mechanical and frictional irritation with the native tissue and having the possibility to be located in the body through minimally invasive operations...
Calcium phosphates CaPs ceramics were used as a bone substitute for improving new bone formation due to the excellent biological affinity to hard tissues...
Investigating the response of human dermal and gingival fibroblasts to changes in substratum compliance: Implications for soft tissue biomaterials development.
comments
Development of biomaterials for regeneration of soft tissues still faces critical challenges related to control of cell phenotype and the prevention of contraction scar tissue formation upon implantation...
Analysis of the effects of tissue-specific extracellular matrix on the adipogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stromal cells in culture
