In this study 5, 10 and 15% β-Ca(3)(PO(4))(2)/Mg-Zn composites were prepared through powder metallurgy methods, and their corrosion behavior and mechanical properties were studied in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37°C. The 10% β-Ca(3)(PO(4))(2)/Mg-Zn composite was selected for cytocompatibility assessment and in vivo biodegradation testing. The results identified the α-Mg, MgZn and β-Ca(3)(PO(4...

A polyaryletherketone biomaterial launched by Victrex® in 1998 and marketed as PEEK-OPTIMATM, is suitable for medical implant use, enabling device manufacturers to make high performance implants with tailored properties that are compatible with modern medical imaging techniques. This family of products, manufactured under conditions of ‘no change’ has been achieved using enhanced manufacturing ...

DNA based spherical nanostructures are one of the promising nanostructures for several biomedical and biotechnological applications due to their excellent biocompatibility and DNA-directed surface addressability. Herein, we report the synthesis and amphiphilicity-driven self-assembly of two classes of DNA (hydrophilic)-chromophore (hydrophobic) hybrid amphiphiles into spherical nanostructures. ...

introduction: in orthodontic therapy ,different materials are used and their presence in oral cavity may modify their properties. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the direct and indirect biocompatibility of three orthodontic composite resins on culture of human oral fibroblasts. methods: this was an interventional experimental study. the biocompatibility of three orthodontic composite ...

A bis-spiropyran functionalized peptide 1, which exhibits good cell-permeability, excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, has been developed for reversible and real-time lysosomal tracking.
