Journal ArticleDOI
Nanotechnology and nanomaterials: Promises for improved tissue regeneration
Lijie Zhang,Thomas J. Webster +1 more
TL;DR: The promise of nanomaterials for bone, cartilage, vascular, neural and bladder tissue engineering applications will be reviewed and as an important future area of research, the potential risk and toxicity ofnanomaterial synthesis and use related to human health are emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid modified rosette nanotube-hydrogel composites for bone tissue engineering.
Lijie Zhang,Felaniaina Rakotondradany,Felaniaina Rakotondradany,Andrew J. Myles,Andrew J. Myles,Hicham Fenniri,Hicham Fenniri,Thomas J. Webster +7 more
TL;DR: This study indicated that not only the surface chemistry was important in improving osteoblast density, but also the biomimetic nanoscale properties of RNTs provided a cell-favorable environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biologically inspired rosette nanotubes and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite hydrogel nanocomposites as improved bone substitutes
TL;DR: This study showed that HRNs stimulated HA nucleation and mineralization along their main axis in a way that is very reminiscent of the HA/collagen assembly pattern in natural bone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic helical rosette nanotubes and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite coatings on titanium for improving orthopedic implants
TL;DR: This study demonstrated for the first time that biomimetic HRN/nanocrystalline HA coatings on titanium were cytocompatible for osteoblasts and, thus, should be further studied for improving orthopedic implants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced osteoblast adhesion on self-assembled nanostructured hydrogel scaffolds.
TL;DR: The present results demonstrated that HRNs can improve properties of one particular hydrogel (pHEMA) and, thus, should be further investigated as a bone-healing material.
