Thin Degradable Coatings for Optimization of Osteointegration Associated with Simultaneous Infection Prophylaxis

TL;DR: In this study, thin degradable calcium phosphate ceramic coatings doped with silver, copper, copper and bismuth on a titanium substrate were prepared with the aid of the high-velocity suspension flame spraying (HVSFS) coating process to evaluate in vitro biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity of the coatings.

Advances in the field of soft tissue engineering: From pure regenerative to integrative solutions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the advances in the field of soft tissue engineering highlighting the advantages of the use of drug delivery systems instead of pure, regenerative grafts, and discuss the two general classes of systems should be studied together because the properties of the drugloaded systems are strongly dependent on the support characteristics.

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles

TL;DR: The results indicate that the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles are size dependent, since the only nanoparticles that present a direct interaction with the bacteria preferentially have a diameter of approximately 1-10 nm.

Evidence for stripe correlations of spins and holes in copper oxide superconductors

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the possibility that this effect is related to dynamical two-dimensional spin correlations, incommensurate with the crystal lattice, that have been observed in La2-SrxCuO4 by neutron scattering.

Metal Oxide Nanoparticles as Bactericidal Agents

TL;DR: In this paper, reactive magnesium oxide nanoparticles and halogen (Cl2, Br2) adducts of these MgO particles were allowed to contact certain bacteria and spore cells, which yield insight into the biocidal action of these nanoscale materials.
