First paleoproteome study of fossil fish otoliths and the pristine preservation of the biomineral crystal host

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Jinming Guo

Otoliths are calcium carbonate components of the stato-acoustical organ responsible for hearing and maintenance of the body balance in teleost fish. During their formation, control over, e.g., morphology and carbonate polymorph is influenced by complex ins ...

Microtensile failure mechanisms in lamellar bone: Influence of fibrillar orientation, specimen size and hydration

Johann Michler, Daniele Casari

A mechanistic understanding of bone fracture is indispensable for developing improved fracture risk assessment in clinics. Since bone is a hierarchically structured material, gaining such knowledge requires analysis at multiple length scales. Here, the ten ...

Structural description of surfaces and interfaces in biominerals by DNP SENS

David Lyndon Emsley

Biological mineralized tissues are hybrid materials with complex hierarchical architecture composed of biominerals often embedded in an organic matrix. The atomic-scale comprehension of surfaces and organo-mineral interfaces of these biominerals is of para ...

In vitro and in vivo investigation of bisphosphonate-loaded hydroxyapatite particles for peri-implant bone augmentation

Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger

Locally applied bisphosphonates, such as Zoledronate, have been shown in several studies to inhibit peri-implant bone resorption and recently to enhance peri-implant bone formation. Studies have also demonstrated positive effects of hydroxyapatite particle ...

Compounds for functionalizing biomaterials

Sandrine Gerber, Françoise Borcard

The present invention provides compounds suitable for functionalizing biomaterials, in particular prosthetics and implant materials, functionalized biomaterials, and methods for synthesizing the compound. The compounds contain an anchoring group, a group f ...

Improving the osteogenic potential of BMP-2 with hyaluronic acid hydrogel modified with integrin-specific fibronectin fragment

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

While human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is a promising growth factor for bone regeneration, its clinical efficacy has recently shown to be below expectation. In order to improve the clinical translation of rhBMP-2, there exists strong motivation ...

Osteoconductive surfaces generated from peptide functionalized poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphate) brushes

Harm-Anton Klok, Dusko Paripovic

Modification of bone implant materials with biofunctional surfaces that facilitate osteoblast adhesion and promote matrix mineralization is an attractive strategy to improve osseointegration. This manuscript discusses the preparation and properties of RGD ...

68Ga-NODAGA-RGDyK for αvβ3 integrin PET imaging. Preclinical investigation and dosimetry

Carole Poitry-Yamate, Christian Rüegg, Serge Baechler

To visualize neovasculature and/or tumour integrin αvβ3 we selected the binding moiety Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Tyr-Lys (RGDyK) coupled to NODAGA for labeling with 68Ga. ...

Engineering of Signaling Microenvironments with Fibronectin Domains to Enhance Tissue Regeneration

Conducting tissue healing and regeneration through biomaterials and morphogens is still an unrealized goal. Understand the multiple roles of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is indeed essential for the design of successful regenerative medicine strategies. D ...

Experimental characterization of the distribution of collagen fiber recruitment

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Sylvain Roy, Christophe Boss

The passive biomechanical behavior of blood vessels is generally modeled by a parallel arrangement of elastin and collagen, with collagen recruitment depending on vessel strain. We experimentally determined the collagen recruitment distribution using confo ...

Epidermal Receptor Activator of NF-{kappa}B Ligand Controls Langerhans Cells Numbers and Proliferation

Cathrin Brisken

Langerhans cells (LC) are the dendritic APC population of the epidermis, where they reside for long periods and are self-replicating. The molecular signals underlying these characteristics are unknown. The TNF superfamily member receptor activator of NF-ka ...

Notch Inhibits Osteoblast Differentiation And Causes Osteopenia

Freddy Radtke

Notch receptors are determinants of cell fate decisions. To define the role of Notch in the adult skeleton, we created transgenic mice overexpressing the Notch intracellular domain (NICD) under the control of the type I collagen promoter. First generation ...

Fetal bone cells for tissue engineering

In this thesis, the potential use of fetal bone cells for tissue engineering was evaluated. At first, fetal bone cells were characterized in vitro regarding their proliferation rate, the induction of their osteoblastic phenotype, and their antigenicity. Th ...

Myofibroblast contraction activates latent TGF-beta1 from the extracellular matrix

Boris Hinz, Jean-Jacques Meister

The conjunctive presence of mechanical stress and active transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) is essential to convert fibroblasts into contractile myofibroblasts, which cause tissue contractures in fibrotic diseases. Using cultured myofibroblasts a ...

The effect of bisphosphonates and titanium particles on osteoblasts: an in vitro study

Dominique Pioletti, Bastian Peter

In an attempt to increase the life of cementless prostheses, an hydroxyapatite-coated implant which releases a bisphosphonate has been suggested as a drug-delivery system. Our in vitro study was designed to determine the maximum dose to which osteoblasts c ...
