Journal ArticleDOI
Human serum albumin adsorption on TiO2 from single protein solutions and from plasma
TL;DR: Adsorption studies by radiolabeling of albumin suggest that rapid HSA adsorption takes place on both surfaces, reaching a maximum value after approximately 60 min of incubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of nanoscale topography on fibronectin adsorption, focal adhesion size and matrix organisation
TL;DR: Phase separation of PLLA/PS solutions during a spin-casting process gives rise to well-defined nanotopographies of 14, 29 and 45 nm deep pits depending on the concentration of the solution, which influence on the biological activity of fibronectin (FN) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Toxoplasma gondii Isolates in Free-Range Chickens From Portugal
Jitender P. Dubey,M.C.B. Vianna,Susana Sousa,Nuno Canada,S. Meireles,J. M. Correia da Costa,Paula L. Marcet,Tovi Lehmann,Marie-Laure Dardé,P. Thulliez +9 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in free-ranging chickens is a good indicator of the prevalence of the parasite's oocysts in the soil because chickens feed from the ground.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of hydroxyapatite thickness on metal ion release from Ti6Al4V substrates
Susana Sousa,Mário A. Barbosa +1 more
TL;DR: Electrochemical dissolution behaviour of Ti6Al4V alloy coated with hydroxyapatite (HA) by plasma spraying was studied and data indicate that HA is an effective barrier to metal ion release, even for the thinner coatings, due to formation of metal phosphates or to incorporation of metal ions in the HA structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of crystallite size of nanophased hydroxyapatite on fibronectin and osteonectin adsorption and on MC3T3-E1 osteoblast adhesion and morphology.
TL;DR: The osteoblast adhesion and metabolic activity seemed to be more sensitive to surfaces morphology and roughness than to the type of adsorbed proteins.
