Objectives During the last decades, several changes of paradigm have modified our view on
how biomaterials' surface characteristics influence the bioresponse. After becoming aware …

Metallic cellular scaffold is one of the best choices for orthopaedic implants as a
replacement of human body parts, which could improve life quality and increase longevity …

Microporosity has a critical role in improving the osteogenesis of scaffolds for bone tissue
engineering. Although the exact mechanism, by which it promotes new bone formation, is …

Dental and orthopedic implants have been under continuous advancement to improve their
interactions with bone and ensure a successful outcome for patients. Surface characteristics …

Biomaterials in the form of scaffolds hold great promise in the regeneration of diseased
tissues. The scaffolds stimulate cellular adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. While the …

Tissue engineering of bone and cartilage has progressed from simple to sophisticated
materials with defined porosity, surface features, and the ability to deliver biological factors …

The surface wettability of biomaterials determines the biological cascade of events at the
biomaterial/host interface. Wettability is modulated by surface characteristics, such as …

Joint replacement is a major orthopaedic procedure used to treat joint osteoarthritis. Aseptic
loosening and infection are the two most significant causes of prosthetic implant failure. The …

Abstract Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is one of the most common materials used for load-
bearing orthopaedic devices due to its radiolucency and favorable mechanical properties …

In this work, zinc was incorporated into TiO2 coatings on titanium by plasma electrolytic
oxidation to obtain the implant with good bacterial inhibition ability and bone-formability. The …
