Biological influence of nanofibrous hydroxyapatite-polycaprolactone membrane on human periodontal ligament cell

, , , , , , , , , ,
This study was performed to evaluate the effect of hydroxyapatite-coated nanofibrous polycaprolactone membrane on proliferation and differentiation of periodontal ligament cell which is necessary for periodontal regeneration. Hydroxyapatite-coated nanofibrous polycaprolactone membrane was fabricated through electrospinning [...]

Rhodamine B Isothiocyanate-Modified Ag Nanoaggregates on Dielectric Beads: A Novel Surface-Enhanced-Raman-Scattering and Fluorescent Imaging Material

, , , , , , ,
Ag-deposited silica and polystyrene beads are efficient surface-enhanced-Raman-scattering (SERS) substrates that can be used as core materials of SERS-based biosensors. In this work, we report that once rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RhBITC) is adsorbed onto them, [...]
