Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon nanotubes with high bone-tissue compatibility and bone-formation acceleration effects.
Yuki Usui,Kaoru Aoki,Nobuyo Narita,Narumichi Murakami,Isao Nakamura,Koichi Nakamura,Norio Ishigaki,Hiroshi Yamazaki,Hiroshi Horiuchi,Hiroyuki Kato,Seiichi Taruta,Yoong Ahm Kim,Morinobu Endo,Naoto Saito +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that multi-walled CNTs adjoining bone induce little local inflammatory reaction, show high bone-tissue compatibility, permit bone repair, become integrated into new bone, and accelerate bone formation stimulated by recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2).
Journal ArticleDOI

Naoto Saito,Yuki Usui,Kaoru Aoki,Nobuyo Narita,Masayuki Shimizu,Kazuo Hara,Nobuhide Ogiwara,Koichi Nakamura,Norio Ishigaki,Hiroyuki Kato,Seiichi Taruta,Morinobu Endo +11 more
TL;DR: This tutorial review clarifies the current state of knowledge in the interdisciplinary field of CNT-based nanobiotechnology to determine whether CNTs may be useful in biomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safe clinical use of carbon nanotubes as innovative biomaterials.
Naoto Saito,Hisao Haniu,Yuki Usui,Kaoru Aoki,Kazuo Hara,Seiji Takanashi,Masayuki Shimizu,Nobuyo Narita,Masanori Okamoto,Shinsuke Kobayashi,Hiroki Nomura,Hiroyuki Kato,Naoyuki Nishimura,Seiichi Taruta,Morinobu Endo +14 more
TL;DR: CNTs are expected to play a major role in developing new energy sources such as solar photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation, and are also widely used in products designed to prevent static electricity, to shield electromagnetic waves, to store electricity, and for other purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of carbon fibers to biomaterials: A new era of nano-level control of carbon fibers after 30-years of development
Naoto Saito,Kaoru Aoki,Yuki Usui,Masayuki Shimizu,Kazuo Hara,Nobuyo Narita,Nobuhide Ogihara,Koichi Nakamura,Norio Ishigaki,Hiroyuki Kato,Hisao Haniu,Seiichi Taruta,Yoong Ahm Kim,Morinobu Endo +13 more
TL;DR: This critical review of the history of carbon fiber application to the biomaterials is summarized and future perspectives in the new age of nano-level control of carbon fibers are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Titanium Fiber Plates for Bone Tissue Repair.
Takashi Takizawa,Noboru Nakayama,Hisao Haniu,Kaoru Aoki,Masanori Okamoto,Hiroki Nomura,Manabu Tanaka,Atsushi Sobajima,Kazushige Yoshida,Takayuki Kamanaka,Kumiko Ajima,Ayumu Oishi,Chika Kuroda,Haruka Ishida,Satomi Okano,Shinsuke Kobayashi,Hiroyuki Kato,Naoto Saito +17 more
TL;DR: Capable of being used in close contact with bone for a long time, and even capable of promoting bone repair, titanium fiber plates have a wide range of applications, and are expected to make great contributions to clinical management of increasing bone diseases, including bone fracture repair and bone regenerative medicine.
