Human embryonic stem cells for bone engineering applications
(2011-05-26)
The human skeleton represents the supporting structure of the organism and accounts for about 20 percent of the total body mass. Despite its intrinsic capacity to regenerate and self-repair, this ability is limited and ...
Mechanisms of Osseointegration: Experimental Studies on Early Cellular and Molecular Events in vivo
(2010-06-14)
The early cellular and molecular activities determining the early tissue response and bone formation at bone/implant interface are not fully understood. The general aim of the current thesis was to develop a model for ...
Osteocytes as indicators of bone quality - multiscale structure-composition characterisation of the bone-implant interface
(2017-09-01)
By virtue of certain design features, bone anchored metal implants can be made to elicit a strong initial osteogenic response, i.e., the amount of bone formed. While quantitative differences are often lost at longer follow ...
