TL;DR: The in vitro effects of novel strontium-modified calcium phosphate bone cements, prepared using two different approaches on human-bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, could be beneficial for the local treatment of defects, especially in the osteoporotic bone.

TL;DR: The presented results suggest that the SLM-fabricated alloy may be preferable to the hot-pressed alloy for biomedical applications, such as the manufacture of load-bearing metallic components for total joint replacements.

TL;DR: The effect of indium (In) additions on the structural characteristics and elastic modulus of Ti-40 Nb was investigated by experimental and theoretical methods and came out that minor In additions introduce low energy states with s character that present antibonding features with the Ti first neighboring atoms as well as with theTi-Nb second neighboring atoms thus weakening the chemical bonds and leading to elastic softening.

TL;DR: Severe surface treatments alter the passive film properties, but do not deteriorate the outstanding corrosion resistance of the Ti-45Nb alloy in synthetic body fluid environments.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural characteristics of martensitic phases in the Ti-Nb system were studied in detail, including the distortion of the orthorhombic unit cell by the addition of β-stabilizing atoms.
