Current status of tissue engineering in the management of severe hypospadias
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2018 , Article Review)Hypospadias, characterized by misplacement of the urinary meatus in the lower side of the penis, is a frequent birth defect in male children. Because of the huge variation in the anatomic presentation of hypospadias, no ... -
Effect of zirconia nanotube coating on the hydrophilicity and mechanochemical behavior of zirconium for biomedical applications
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Zirconium has attracted considerable attention in the biomedical field owing to its biocompatibility and desirable tribological and mechanical properties. In this study, we anodized pure zirconium in an ammonium fluoride ... -
Halloysite nanotubes and halloysite-based composites for biomedical applications
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Novel biomaterials for diagnostics and therapeutics of biomedical issues have been considered using biomedical science and health care. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally occurring aluminosilicate clay. Because of ... -
Harnessing the Potential of Stem Cells from Different Sources for Tissue Engineering
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2016 , Book chapter)Recent advances in bioengineering and stem cell research have pushed tissue engineering to the forefront in countering the increasing demand for replacement of damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells from different sources ... -
Introduction to Tissue Engineering
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2016 , Article)Tissue engineering is a recent field that aims at developing or regenerating artificial tissues and organs. The idea of replacing a damaged body part using materials from natural origin was proposed and even applied over ... -
Investigation of the tribological and biomechanical properties of CrAlTiN and CrN/NbN coatings on SST 304
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)This study examines the influence of thin layer coatings of CrAlTiN and CrN/NbN, deposited via physical vapor, on the biocompatibility, mechanical, tribological, and corrosion properties of stainless steel 304. The ... -
Nitric oxide-releasing biomaterials for promoting wound healing in impaired diabetic wounds: State of the art and recent trends
( Elsevier Masson s.r.l. , 2022 , Article)Impaired diabetic wounds are serious pathophysiological complications associated with persistent microbial infections including failure in the closure of wounds, and the cause of a high frequency of lower limb amputations. ... -
Structural and morphological study of mechanochemically synthesized crystalline nanoneedles of Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite
( Elsevier B.V. , 2015 , Article)Nanosize Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite (n-ZCCA) was developed as a novel bioceramic by a ball milling process. Results showed that the microstructural characteristics of the product were affected significantly by the ...
