Wu H.C., Hsieh S.-Y., Wang T.-W., Tatung University, TW

The success of tumor therapy is determined by the efficiency with which the killing of tumor cells is achieved under conditions of no or only slight damage to the normal tissues. Because of its high [...]

IBAD Nanothick Bioceramic Incorporation on Metallic Implants for Bone Healing Enhancement. From Physico/Chemical Characterization to In-vivo Performance Evaluation

Coelho P.G., Lemons J.E., University of Alabama at Birmingham, US

Preliminary data on in-vivo performance of nanothick bioceramic IBAD-coated metallic implants showed an increase in both osteoblastic activity and mechanical properties for bone surrounding these implants. The purpose of this study was to characterize a [...]
