In biomaterials science, it is nowadays well accepted that improving the biointegration of
dental and orthopedic implants with surrounding tissues is a major goal. However, implant …

One of the biggest challenges in the biocompatibility of implantable metals is the prevention
of the stress shielding effect, which is related to the coupling of the bone-metal mechanical …

It is still a big challenge in orthopedics to treat infected bone defects properly using medical
metals. The use of three-dimensional (3D) scaffold materials that simultaneously mimic the …

An antimicrobial peptide motif (Cys-KR12) originating from human cathelicidin peptide
(LL37) was immobilized onto electrospun SF nanofiber membranes using EDC/NHS and …

Serious bacterial infection induces the failure of artificial implants. Covalent bonding of
antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) on implant surfaces can avoid the main shortcoming (blast …

Currently, there is an increasing clinical demand for implants that effectively resist bacterial
infections while promoting osseointegration. In this study, the fusion peptide technology was …

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been one of the major nosocomial
pathogens to cause frequent and serious infections that are associated with various …

Biofouling is the undesirable accumulation of organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and
barnacles on surfaces. It is a serious problem in many areas of our lives including health …

Although antimicrobial titanium implants can prevent biomaterial-associated infection (BAI)
in orthopedics, they display cytotoxicity and delayed osseointegration. Therefore, versatile …

Microbial infections have always been serious challenges to human health considering that
antibiotics almost inevitably induce microbial resistance. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a …
