A major goal of the current research on implants is the generation of a sustainable positive interaction of the implant with the body, accompanied by minimal side effects. Hence, the focus of many studies lies on the ...

Background: In orthopedics, the treatment of implant-associated infections represents a high challenge. Especially, potent antibacterial effects at implant surfaces can only be achieved by the use of high doses of antibiotics, ...

Degradable implant material for bone remodeling that corresponds to the physiological stability of bone has still not been developed. Promising degradable materials with good mechanical properties are magnesium and magnesium ...

Assigning the hemocompatibility of small vascular implants is one of the great challenges in biomedical engineering. Due to the fact, that there are no widely approved test setups1, we decided to developed a modified ...

Die additive Fertigung, auch bekannt unter der Bezeichnung „3D-Druck“, hat sich längst in etlichen Herstellungsbereichen als vielfältig einsetzbares, nützliches Werkzeug bewährt. Die schnelle Fertigung selbst komplexer ...

The limited biocompatibility of decellularized scaffolds is an ongoing challenge in tissue engineering. Here, we demonstrate the residual immunogenicity of an extensively decellularized equine carotid artery (dEAC ...

In orthopaedic medicine, connective tissues are often affected by traumatic or degenerative injuries, and surgical intervention is required. Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of shoulder pain and disability among adults. ...

A major drawback of nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications is their preferential phagocytosis in immune cells, which can be avoided by surface modifications like PEGylation. Nevertheless, examinations of different ...

Laser processing of dental implant surfaces is becoming a more widespread replacement for classical techniques due to its undeniable advantages, including control of oxide formation and structure and surface relief at the ...

The targeted treatment of implant-associated infections and organ diseases represents great challenges for physicians concerning the demographic change. For systemic treatment, high drug levels are often necessary to achieve ...
