In a previous study involving the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation in brain mitochondria by electrical currents, it was observed that the effect varied with the kind of conductive substance used in the construction of the electrode (Abood, 1954). Electrodes constructed of either gold or an alloy of silver and gold were most effective, while silver and platinum electrodes were least effec...

Innovative 3D metal additive manufacturing (AM) techniques are revolutionizing the biomedical industry, since they enable production of porous structures and patient-customized parts biomedical-grade materials, such as Ti alloys. Surface treatment via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) conventionally manufactured its alloys has been proved an outstanding approach to promote osseointegration im...
