Metals and alloys, including stainless steel, titanium and its alloys, cobalt alloys, and other
metals and alloys have been widely used clinically as implant materials, but implant-related …

Large bone defects resulting from fractures and disease are a medical concern, being often
unable to heal spontaneously by the body's repair mechanisms. Bone tissue engineering …

Recently, zinc and its alloys have been proposed as promising candidates for
biodegradable metals (BMs), owning to their preferable corrosion behavior and acceptable …

Since most starting materials for tissue engineering are in powder form, using powder-based
additive manufacturing methods is attractive and practical. The principal point of employing …

In this study, the antimicrobial and scaffold of zinc-substituted hydroxyapatite,(Zn-HAp)
synthesized via chemical co-precipitation technique was investigated. The structure of the …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of silica (SiO2)(0.5 wt%) and zinc oxide (ZnO)(0.25
wt%) dopants on the mechanical and biological properties of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) …

Zinc is known as an essential nutritional factor in the growth of the human and animals.
Bone growth retardation is a common finding in various conditions associated with dietary …

Zinc is an essential trace element required for bone formation, however not much has been
clarified yet for its role in osteoblast. We hypothesized that zinc would increase osteogenetic …

Calcium phosphates such as hydroxyapatite have a wide range of applications both in bone
grafts and for the coating of metallic implants, largely as a result of their chemical similarity to …

Osteoporosis is a complex, multi-factorial condition characterized by reduced bone mass
and impaired micro-architectural structure, leading to an increased susceptibility to fractures …
