Journal ArticleDOI

Animal models for implant biomaterial research in bone: a review.

TL;DR: While no species fulfils all of the requirements of an ideal model, an understanding of the differences in bone architecture and remodelling between the species is likely to assist in the selection of a suitable species for a defined research question.
Journal ArticleDOI

In search of an osteoblast cell model for in vitro research.

TL;DR: This review discusses the osteoblastic development of some of the available cell models; such as primary human, rat, mouse, bovine, ovine and rabbit osteoblast cells; as well as MC3T3-E1, MG-63 and SaOs-2 cell lines, together with their advantages and disadvantages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role and regulation of RUNX2 in osteogenesis.

TL;DR: The regulation of RUNX2 by factors commonly used during osteogenic studies will be discussed and the complexity of its regulation and its interactions within the osteoblast differentiation pathway are often overlooked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Staphylococcus aureus adhesion to titanium oxide surfaces coated with non-functionalized and peptide-functionalized poly(L-lysine)-grafted-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymers.

TL;DR: Surfaces coated with PLL-g-PEG/PEG-RGD have the ability to attach cells such as fibroblasts and osteoblasts while showing reduced S. aureus adhesion, resulting in a selective biointeraction pattern that may be useful for applications in the area of osteosynthesis, orthopaedic and dental implantology.
