Calcium phosphates are widely used as biomaterials and strontium (Sr) is known to have
the ability to modify the bone balance towards osteosynthesis. In the present study we …

Bone is a metabolically active and highly organized tissue consisting of a mineral phase of
hydroxyapatite (HA) and amorphous calcium phosphate (CaP) crystals deposited in an …

Functional engineering of musculoskeletal tissues generally involves the use of differentiated
or progenitor cells seeded with specific growth factors in biomaterial scaffolds. Ideally, the …

Sol–gel chemistry has been successfully used to prepare un-doped and Sr-doped calcium
phosphate ceramics exhibiting a porous structure. The samples composition is very close to …

Integrins are heterodimeric transmembrane proteins able to connect cells with the micro‐environment.
They represent a family of receptors involved in almost all the hallmarks of cancer. …

Calcium phosphate bioceramics have been applied as bone substitutes for several decades.
Aseptic loosening after total joint arthroplasty is a major problem in orthopaedic surgery. …

Breast cancer is still a deadly disease despite major achievements in targeted therapies
designed to block ligands or ligand-binding subunits of major tyrosine kinase receptors. …

Objective: We evaluated a new device designed to clean the endotracheal tube in mechanically
ventilated patients, the Mucus Shaver. Design: Prospective, randomized trial. Setting: …

A possible complication associated with the implantation of hydroxyapatite (HA)-based
prosthesis is the release of particles. These particles can be phagocyted by monocytes that are …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is widely used to coat metal parts in order to improve their biocompatibility.
Analysis of retrieved tissues associated with failed implants, suggest that phagocytosis …
