—This paper presents a review of the theories based on wetting measurements/interfacial
thermodynamics most frequently used to explain bacterial adhesion to solid surfaces. The …

We have studied the adsorption of two structurally similar forms of hemoglobin (met-Hb and
HbCO) to a hydrophobic self-assembled methyl-terminated thiol monolayer on a gold …

The great wealth of different surface sensitive techniques used in biosensing, most of which
claim to measure adsorbed mass, can at first glance look unnecessary. However, with each …

Purpose: A satisfactory clinical outcome in dental implant treatment relies on primary stability
for immediate load bearing. While the geometric design of an implant contributes to …

Egg yolk contains several molecular species with emulsifying properties, such as proteins
and phospholipids. In particular, these molecules have both polar and nonpolar parts and …

The healing of large bone defects can be improved by osteogenic bone graft substitutes,
due to growth factor inclusion. A sustained release of these growth factors provides more …

Chromatographic methods represent the most powerful techniques for purification of
biopharmaceutical compounds. Quite often, the question arises which chromatographic …

To manipulate the cellular response to synthetic surfaces, extracellular matrix (ECM)
proteins such as fibronectin (FN) and collagen are often immobilized on the surface to …

Carbon materials and nanomaterials are of great interest for biological applications such as
implantable devices and nanoparticle vectors, however, to realize their potential it is critical …

Performance and safety of materials in contact with living matter are determined by
sequential and competitive protein adsorption. However, cause and consequences of these …
