Journal ArticleDOI
Silver nanoparticles promote osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells and improve bone fracture healing in osteogenesis mechanism mouse model
Ruizhong Zhang,PY Lee,Vincent C.H. Lui,Yan Chen,Xuelai Liu,Chun-Nam Lok,Michael To,Kelvin W.K. Yeung,Kenneth K. Y. Wong +8 more
TL;DR: A novel application is demonstrated in that these nanoparticles were efficient in promoting osteoblastic differentiation in both in-vitro and in- vivo studies, which may provide a new treatment direction for bone fracture in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of collagen alignment by silver nanoparticles results in better mechanical properties in wound healing
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of AgNPs on the functionality of repaired skin is unknown, however, the authors concluded that AgNs were predominantly responsible for regulating deposition of collagen and their use resulted in excellent alignment in the wound healing process.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of three-dimensional printing technology in orthopaedic surgery.
Tak Man Wong,Jimmy Jin,Tak-Wing Lau,Christian Fang,Chun Hoi Yan,Kelvin W.K. Yeung,Michael To,Frankie Leung +7 more
TL;DR: 3D printing technology is mainly applied in surgical planning especially revision and reconstructive surgeries, making patient-specific instruments or implants, and bone tissue engineering in orthopaedic surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Droplet based microfluidic fabrication of designer microparticles for encapsulation applications
TL;DR: Understanding of this relationship enables the fabrication of tailor-designed carriers with a specified release rate, and even programmed release to meet the needs of applications that require a complex release profile of the active ingredients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silver nanoparticles alter proteoglycan expression in the promotion of tendon repair
KH Kwan,Kelvin W.K. Yeung,Xuelai Liu,Kenneth K. Y. Wong,Ho Cheung Shum,Yun Wah Lam,Shuk Han Cheng,Kenneth M.C. Cheung,Michael To +8 more
TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles are reported to facilitate Achilles tendon repair in a model system, through increased proteoglycan and collagen synthesis, paving the way to potential clinical applications in the future.
