Adsorption of catechol and comparative solutes on hydroxyapatite
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-08-15)
Contemporary medical and dental adhesives often have difficulty sticking to wet surfaces or weaken with long-term exposure to water. Substantial research has been dedicated to finding a means of achieving adhesion in an ...
Surface modification of neural recording electrodes with conducting polymer/biomolecule blends
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-08)
The interface between micromachined neural microelectrodes and neural tissue plays an important role in chronic in vivo recording. Electrochemical polymerization was used to optimize the surface of the metal electrode ...
Glassy carbon: A potential dental implant material
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1973-05)
The carbonization of certain polymers under carefully controlled conditions yields glassy carbon bodies which may have potential application in the dental profession. Considerable evidence is now available for the good ...
Microtubular architecture of biodegradable polymer scaffolds
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-09-15)
It is a relatively new approach to generate tissues with mammalian cells and scaffolds (temporary synthetic extracellular matrices). Many tissues, such as nerve, muscle, tendon, ligament, blood vessel, bone, and teeth, ...
Synthetic nano-scale fibrous extracellular matrix
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-07)
Biodegradable polymers have been widely used as scaffolding materials to regenerate new tissues. To mimic natural extracellular matrix architecture, a novel highly porous structure, which is a three-dimensional interconnected ...
Rapid aqueous photo-polymerization route to polymer and polymer-composite hydrogel 3D inverted colloidal crystal scaffolds
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-10)
Successful regeneration of biological tissues in vitro requires the utilization of three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds that provide a near natural microenvironment for progenitor cells to grow, interact, replicate, and ...
Increased osteoblast adhesion on nanograined hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate containing calcium titanate
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-03-15)
Depending on the coating method utilized and subsequent heat treatments (such as through the use of plasma-spray deposition), inter-diffusion of atomic species across titanium (Ti) and hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings may ...
Surface modification of interconnected porous scaffolds
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-07-01)
Surface properties of scaffolds play an important role in cell adhesion and growth. Biodegradable poly(Α-hydroxy acids) have been widely used as scaffolding materials for tissue engineering; however, the lack of functional ...
Aligned electrospun nanofibers specify the direction of dorsal root ganglia neurite growth
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-12-01)
Nerve injury, a significant cause of disability, may be treated more effectively using nerve guidance channels containing longitudinally aligned fibers. Aligned, electrospun nanofibers direct the neurite growth of immortalized ...
Maintaining dimensions and mechanical properties of ionically crosslinked alginate hydrogel scaffolds in vitro
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-03-15)
Ionically crosslinked alginate hydrogels are attractive scaffolds because of their biocompatibility and mild gelation reaction that allows for gentle cell incorporation. However, the instability of ionically crosslinked ...
