Fretting corrosion between bone and calcium phosphate-calcium titanate coatings

Biocompatibility is one of the biggest challenges for biomaterials development. This issue arises in the case of coatings. Calcium phosphate (CP) coatings are currently used to cover femoral stem implants, while calcium titanate (CT) has also been proposed ...

Calcium phosphate formation on titanium-based surfaces: bioactivity evaluated by in vitro methods

Weitian Zhao

The prediction of implant behaviors in vivo by the use of easy-to-perform in vitro methods is of great interest in biomaterials research. In the field of bone implants, it is commonly accepted that a spontaneous formation of a hydroxyapatite (HA) layer on ...

Human bone progenitor cells for clinical application: what kind of immune reaction does fetal xenograft tissue trigger in immuno-competent rats?

Dominique Pioletti, Tanja Cloé Hausherr, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate

The potential of human fetal bone cells for successful bone regeneration has been shown in vivo. In particular, it has been demonstrated that the seeding of these cells in porous poly-(L-lactic acid)/ ß-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds improved the bone form ...

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 ...

Fixed and mobile-bearing total ankle prostheses: Effect on tibial bone strain

Alexandre Terrier, Maïka Réane Guillemin, Xavier Crevoisier, Caroline Sieger Fernandes

Background Total ankle replacement is associated to a high revision rate. To improve implant survival, the potential advantage of prostheses with fixed bearing compared to mobile bearing is unclear. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis th ...

Active Agent-Particle Combination Supporting Bone Regeneration

Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger

The invention provides for a bioactive composition comprising solid particles, such as e.g. calcium phosphate particles, loaded with an active agent, preferably an osteoconductive/osteoinductive agent or an anti-resorptive agent like a bisphosphonate. The ...

Anatomical and functional properties of the foot and leg representation in areas 3b, 1 and 2 of primary somatosensory cortex in humans: A 7T fMRI study

Roger Gassert, Roberto Martuzzi, Olaf Blanke, Michel Akselrod, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Andrea Serino

Primary somatosensory cortex (S1) processes somatosensory information and is composed of multiple subregions. In particular, tactile information from the skin is encoded in three subregions, namely Brodmann areas (BAs) 3b, 1 and 2, with each area represent ...

Ectopic tissue engineered ligament with silk collagen scaffold for ACL regeneration: A preliminary study

Dominique Pioletti, Weiliang Shen, Wei Zhang, Jiayun Huang

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains a formidable clinical challenge because of the lack of vascularization and adequate cell numbers in the joint cavity. In this study, we developed a novel strategy to mimic the early stage of repair in ...
