The interaction of cells and tissues with artificial materials designed for applications in
biotechnologies and in medicine is governed by the physical and chemical properties of the …

Nanocellulose is cellulose in the form of nanostructures, ie, features not exceeding 100 nm
at least in one dimension. These nanostructures include nanofibrils, found in bacterial …

Stem cells can be defined as units of biological organization that are responsible for the
development and the regeneration of organ and tissue systems. They are able to renew their …

Substrate stiffness is emerging as an important physical factor in the response of many cell
types. In agreement with findings on other anchorage-dependent cell lineages, aortic smooth …

PEG-modified lipid vesicles have already shown considerable utility in delaying vesicle
clearance from the circulation. They are, however, limited in their ability to stably integrate high …

Advanced interdisciplinary scientific field of tissue engineering has been developed to meet
increasing demand for safe, functional and easy available substitutes of irreversibly …

Zeolites are microporous tectosilicates of natural or synthetic origin, which have been extensively
used in various technological applications, eg as catalysts and as molecular sieves, for …

It is well known that allosteric modulators of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors can both
diminish and increase the affinity of receptors for their antagonists. We investigated whether the …

This article reviews the development of artificial bone substitutes from their older single-phase
forms to novel multi-phase composites, mimicking the composition and architecture of …

Beta titanium alloys are promising materials for load-bearing orthopaedic implants due to
their excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, low elastic modulus and moderate …
