Bacterial nanocellulose in dentistry: Perspectives and challenges
(MDPI AG, 2020-12-24)
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer that has fascinating attributes, such as biocompatibility, low cost, and ease of processing, being considered a very interesting biomaterial due to its options for moldability ...
In vivo effect of UV-photofunctionalization of CoCrMo in processes of guided bone regeneration and tissue engineering
(Wiley, 2021-01)
Photofunctionalization of implant materials with ultraviolet (UV) radiation have been subject of study in the last two decades, and previous research on CoCrMo discs have showed good results in terms of bioactivity and the ...
Photoactivatable Adhesive Ligands for Light-Guided Neuronal Growth
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2018-06-06)
Neuro-regeneration after trauma requires growth and reconnection of neurons to reestablish information flow in particular directions across the damaged tissue. To support this process, biomaterials for nerve tissue ...
Intra spinal administration of Netrin-1 promotes locomotor recovery after complete spinal cord transection
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2021-08)
Complete spinal cord lesions interrupt the connection of all axonal projections with their neuronal targets below and above the lesion site. In particular, the interruption of connections with the neurons at lumbar segments ...
In Situ, Light-Guided Axon Growth on Biomaterials via Photoactivatable Laminin Peptidomimetic IK(HANBP)VAV
(American Chemical Society, 2018-12)
The ability to guide the growth of neurites is relevant for reconstructing neural networks and for nerve tissue regeneration. Here, a biofunctional hydrogel that allows light-based directional control of axon growth in ...
Development and characterisation of bilayered periosteum-inspired composite membranes based on sodium alginate-hydroxyapatite nanoparticles
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-07)
Background and aim Membranes for guided bone regeneration should have a mechanical structure and a chemical composition suitable for mimicking biological structures. In this work, we pursue the development of periosteum-inspired ...
