Biodegradable polymers are appealing material for the manufacturing of surgical implants
as such implants break down in vivo, negating the need for a subsequent operation for …

Modern innovation in reconstructive medicine implies the proposition of material-based
strategies suitable for tissue repair and regeneration. The development of such systems …

Silk fibroin (SF) can be used to construct various stiff material interfaces to support bone
formation. An essential preparatory step is to partially transform SF molecules from random …

Cell surface engineering technology advances cell therapeutics and tissue engineering by
accurate micro/nanoscale control in cell–biomaterial ensembles and cell spheroids …

A mussel-inspired surface functionalization of the polydopamine (PDA) coating has been
demonstrated to be a promising strategy to ensure the biocompatibility of various …

The control of cell behaviour through material geometry is appealing as it avoids the
requirement for complex chemical surface modifications. Significant advances in new …

One of the primary goals for tissue engineering is to induce new tissue formation by
stimulating specific cell function. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are a particularly …

Silicate bioceramics have been shown to possess excellent cytocompatibility and
osteogenic activity, but the exact mechanism is still unclear. Protein adsorption is the first …

Cationic liposomes (CLs) are one of the most employed nonviral nanovector systems in
gene therapy. However, their transfection efficiency is strongly affected by interactions with …

Covalent grafting of biomolecules could potentially improve the biocompatibility of materials.
However, these molecules have to be grafted in an active conformation to play their …
