TLDR
It is as biocompatible as β-TCP, but more soluble, and hydrolyses rapidly to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite, which makes α- TCP a useful component for preparing self-setting osteotransductive bone cements and biodegradable bioceramics and composites for bone repairing.

Biphasic calcium phosphate scaffolds with controlled pore size distribution prepared by in-situ foaming.

TL;DR: A reproducible method of fabricating hierarchically 3D porous scaffolds with high porosity and pore interconnectivity is reported, which provides a better control over the macrostructure of the scaffold.
Journal ArticleDOI

Silver deposition on polypyrrole films electrosynthesised onto Nitinol alloy. Corrosion protection and antibacterial activity

TL;DR: The electrosynthesis of polypyrrole films onto Nitinol from sodium salicylate solutions of different concentrations is reported and the morphology and corrosion protection properties of the resulting coatings were examined, suggesting an increase in the amount of non-oxidised segments in the polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nano‑calcium phosphate bone cement based on Si-stabilized α-tricalcium phosphate with improved mechanical properties.

TL;DR: Results revealed that nano-CPC enhanced proliferation and spreading of osteoblast like cells compared to control (tissue culture plate) which could be due to both appropriate physical and chemical properties of nano- CPC which stimulate cell proliferation.

Regional gene therapy with 3D printed scaffolds to heal critical sized bone defects in a rat model

TL;DR: Regional gene therapy induced overexpression of BMP-2 via transduced RBMCs combined with an osteoconductive 3D printed TCP scaffold can heal a critically sized femoral defect in an animal model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of Na3Y(PO4)2 phosphate

TL;DR: The Na3Y(PO4)2 phosphate has been obtained by hydrothermal route and characterized by powder XRD, differential scanning calorimetry/thermogravimetric analysis (DSC/TGA), SEM and FTIR spectroscopy.
