Advanced bioceramics have played integral roles in treatment modalities for damaged or
diseased human joints and osseous defects. This paper reviews the uses and properties of …

This overview article on diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings in medical applications covers
the interaction of cells and tissue with DLC and alloyed DLC to generate desired cell …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films are potential candidates for artificial joint surface
modification in biomedical applications, and the influence of the structural features of DLC …

Osteosarcoma-derived cells have been routinely used for studying osteoblastic functions,
but it remains unclear to what extent they mimic the behavior of primary osteoblasts in the …

Abstract Acute Myocardial Infarction (MI) is one of the foremost causes of human death
worldwide and it leads to mass death of cardiomyocytes, interchanges of unfavorable …

Abstract Effect of tribochemistry on the friction behavior of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films
in humid air has been investigated via ReaxFF simulation. The tribochemical reactions can …

Introduction: Resorbable synthetic scaffolds are promising for different indications,
especially in the context of bone regeneration. However, they require additional biological …

Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus cause most of the implant-related
infections. Antibiotic treatment often fails and cure requires surgical intervention. It was …

In this study, TiN, TiCN, and Ti-diamond-like carbon (Ti-DLC) films were coated on 316 L
stainless steel (AISI 316 L) substrate surface by physical vapor deposition. The …

Objectives Osseointegration is dependent on different parameters of the implant surface like
surface roughness and physicochemical properties. In vitro studies using a wide variety of …
