Apart from the paradigm that cell-biomaterials interaction depends on the adsorption of soluble adhesive proteins we anticipate that upon distinct conditions also other, less soluble ECM proteins such as collagens, associate ...

[ES] La producción de fibras de carbono basadas en lignina reduce el costo y el impacto ambiental asociado a la tradicional fabricación de estas por vía petroquímica. Sin embargo, el procesado de la lignina pura como ...

[EN] Titanium is frequently used as a biomaterial and the importance of Ti-Ag alloys has increased thanks to the antibacterial behavior of silver. In this study, Ti-Ag alloys (5, 10 and 15 wt% Ag) were obtained by two ...

[EN] The HIP post-processing step is required for developing next generation of advanced powder metallurgy titanium alloys for orthopedic and dental applications. The influence of the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-processing ...

[EN] The extended use of polymers from renewable resources such as aliphatic polyesters or polyhydroxyalkanoates boosted the necessity to understand their behaviour in an end-of-life scenario. Although they can be degraded ...

[EN] Poly( ε -caprolactone)/poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate) networks have been investigated by thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The introduction of hydrophilic ...

Fibronectin (FN) is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix protein (ECM) protein that is organized into fibrillar networks by cells through an integrin-mediated process that involves contractile forces. This assembly allows for ...

Titanium and its alloys has been widely used for the design of dental implants because of its biocompatibility, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The powder-metallurgy process is a promising alternative to ...
