Abstract 3D printed bone scaffolds have the potential to replace autografts and allografts
because of advantages such as unlimited supply and the ability to tailor the scaffolds' …

Bone has well documented natural healing capacity that normally is sufficient to repair
fractures and other common injuries. However, the properties of bone change throughout …

The bio-active and biodegradable properties of hydroxyapatite (HA) make this material a
preferred candidate for implants such as bone replacement in replacing natural tissues …

The study of biomineralization is not only important to gain an understanding of how mineral-
rich tissues are created in vivo but also because it is a great source of inspiration for the …

Porous biomaterials have been widely used in a variety of orthopedic applications. Porous
scaffolds stimulate the cellular responses and accelerate osteogenesis. The porous …

Recent advances in manufacturing methods open the possibility for broader use of metal
foams and metal matrix composites (MMCs) for heat exchangers, and these materials can …

3D fiber deposition is a technique that allows the development of metallic scaffolds with
accurately controlled pore size, porosity and interconnecting pore size, which in turn permits …

The shelf life of implantable materials has rarely been addressed. We determined whether
osteoconductivity of titanium is stable over time. Rat bone marrow-derived osteoblasts were …

The biological interface between an orthopedic implant and the surrounding host tissue may
have a dramatic effect upon clinical outcome. Desired effects include bony ingrowth …

Peptide self‐assembly is an attractive route for the synthesis of intricate organic
nanostructures that possess remarkable structural variety and biocompatibility. Recent …
