The purpose of this work is to study the adsorption process and surface bio-activity of His-tagged d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) from Rhodotorula gracilis (His6-RgDAAO) as the first step for the development of an electrochemical ...

Highly porous Ti implant materials are being used in order to overcome the stress shielding effect on orthopedic implants. However, the lack of bioactivity on Ti surfaces is still a major concern regarding the osseointegration ...

Usually we observe that Bio-physical systems or Bio-chemical systems are many a time based on nanoscale phenomenon in different host environments, which involve many particles can often not be solved explicitly. Instead a ...

β-Ti alloys are known for their very low Young’s modulus, excellent physical properties, and biocompatibility, hence they are considered as attractive metallic materials for long-term bone implant applications. However, ...

Nano-sized zinc oxide (ZnO) is well known for its antibacterial activity and biocompatibility, which make this material a promising candidate to tailor titanium (Ti) implant surfaces. In an optimized scenario, the antibacterial ...

The objectives of this study were to introduce a damage and loss-of-function survey tool that can be used to standardize future assessment of hospital performance, to assess the impact of the 2010 Chilean earthquake on the ...

In the oral cavity, materials (including our natural teeth) are exposed to a complex environment, which results in simultaneous mechanical, electrochemical, and microbiological solicitations. Therefore, bio-tribocorrosion ...
