Tissue engineering has been an active field of research for several decades now. However,
the amount of clinical applications in the field of tissue engineering is still limited. One of the …

Calcium phosphate bioceramics are widely used in orthopedic and dental applications and
porous scaffolds made of them are serious candidates in the field of bone tissue engineering…

In the past thirty years, a number of biomaterials have shown the ability to induce bone
formation when implanted at heterotopic sites, an ability known as osteoinduction. Such …

One of the major obstacles in engineering thick, complex tissues such as muscle is the need
to vascularize the tissue in vitro. Vascularization in vitro could maintain cell viability during …

Biomaterials can be endowed with biologically instructive properties by changing basic
parameters such as elasticity and surface texture. However, translation from in vitro proof of …

In order to unravel the mechanism of osteoinduction by biomaterials, in this study we
investigated the influence of the specific surface area on osteoinductive properties of two types of …

In this study, we present and characterize a fiber deposition technique for producing three-dimensional
poly(ethylene glycol)-terephthalate—poly(butylene terephthalate) (PEGT/PBT) …

The combination of the high mechanical strength of metals with the osteoconductive properties
of calcium phosphates make hydroxyapatite coatings on titanium implants widely used in …

State-of-the-art bioactive hydrogels can easily and efficiently be formed by enzyme-catalyzed
mild-crosslinking reactions in situ. Yet this cell-friendly and substrate-specific method …

Osteoinduction by biomaterials has been shown to be a real phenomenon by many investigators
in the last decade. The exact mechanism of this phenomenon is, however, still largely …
