No currently available conduit meets the criteria for an ideal coronary artery bypass graft. The perfect conduit would combine the availability and complication-free harvest of a synthetic vessel with the long-term patency performance of the internal mammary artery. However,...

Preparation and use of thermosensitive polymers.

Methods in molecular medicine

Cao YL, Ibarra C, Vacanti C.
PMID: 21370169
Methods Mol Med. 1999;18:75-83. doi: 10.1385/0-89603-516-6:75.

Restoration of organ structure and function, utilizing tissue engineering technologies, often requires the use of a temporary porous scaffold. The function of the scaffold is to direct the growth of cells migrating from the surrounding tissue (tissue conduction), or...

A Novel Approach for Assessing the Fatigue Behavior of PEEK in a Physiologically Relevant Environment.

Materials (Basel, Switzerland)

Peron M, Torgersen J, Berto F.
PMID: 30308932
Materials (Basel). 2018 Oct 10;11(10). doi: 10.3390/ma11101923.

In recent years, the need of surgical procedures has continuously increased and, therefore, researchers and clinicians are broadly focusing on the development of new biocompatible materials. Among them, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has gained wide interest in load-bearing applications due to...

PMID: 30671686
Eur Radiol Exp. 2019 Jan 22;3(1):3. doi: 10.1186/s41747-018-0084-z.

BACKGROUND: Flow-diverter stents (FDSs) have revolutionised the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. However, associated dual antiplatelet treatment is mandatory. We investigated the biocompatibility of three proprietary antithrombogenic coatings applied to FDSs.METHODS: After Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approval, four...

Behavior and biocompatibility of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with bacterial cellulose membrane.

Silva MA, Leite YKC, de Carvalho CES, Feitosa MLT, Alves MMM, Carvalho FAA, Neto BCV, Miglino MA, Jozala AF, de Carvalho MAM.
PMID: 29736332
PeerJ. 2018 Apr 30;6:e4656. doi: 10.7717/peerj.4656. eCollection 2018.

BACKGROUND: Tissue engineering has been shown to exhibit great potential for the creation of biomaterials capable of developing into functional tissues. Cellular expansion and integration depends on the quality and surface-determinant factors of the scaffold, which are required for...

Roles of nitrogen functionalities in enhancing the excitation-independent green-color photoluminescence of graphene oxide dots.

Nanoscale

Teng CY, Nguyen BS, Yeh TF, Lee YL, Chen SJ, Teng H.
PMID: 28585974
Nanoscale. 2017 Jun 22;9(24):8256-8265. doi: 10.1039/c7nr01037k.

Fluorescent graphene oxide dots (GODs) are environmentally friendly and biocompatible materials for photoluminescence (PL) applications. In this study, we employed annealing and hydrothermal ammonia treatments at 500 and 140 °C, respectively, to introduce nitrogen functionalities into GODs for enhancing...

On the Rule of Mixtures for Predicting Stress-Softening and Residual Strain Effects in Biological Tissues and Biocompatible Materials.

Materials (Basel, Switzerland)

Elías-Zúñiga A, Baylón K, Ferrer I, Serenó L, García-Romeu ML, Bagudanch I, Grabalosa J, Pérez-Recio T, Martínez-Romero O, Ortega-Lara W, Elizalde LE.

Materials (Basel). 2014 Jan 16;7(1):441-456. doi: 10.3390/ma7010441.

In this work, we use the rule of mixtures to develop an equivalent material model in which the total strain energy density is split into the isotropic part related to the matrix component and the anisotropic energy contribution related...

Perspective: Fabrication of integrated organ-on-a-chip via bioprinting.

Biomicrofluidics

Yang Q, Lian Q, Xu F.
PMID: 28529670
Biomicrofluidics. 2017 May 09;11(3):031301. doi: 10.1063/1.4982945. eCollection 2017 May.

Organ-on-a-chip has emerged as a powerful platform with widespread applications in biomedical engineering, such as pathology studies and drug screening. However, the fabrication of organ-on-a-chip is still a challenging task due to its complexity. For an integrated organ-on-a-chip, it...
