Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced functions of osteoblasts on nanophase ceramics
TL;DR: The results of the present study provided the first evidence of enhanced long-term (on the order of days to weeks) functions of osteoblasts cultured on nanophase ceramics, and clearly represent a unique and promising class of orthopaedic/dental implant formulations with improved osseointegrative properties.

Structure and properties of nano-hydroxyapatite/polymer composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
Guobao Wei,Peter X. Ma +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the newly developed NHAP/polymer composite scaffolds may serve as an excellent 3D substrate for cell attachment and migration in bone tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of nanofiber matrix as tissue-engineering scaffolds.
TL;DR: This review covers the preparation and modification of polymeric nanofiber matrix in the development of future tissue-engineering scaffolds and major emphasis is given to the development and applications of aligned, core shell-structured, or surface-functionalized polymer nanofibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific proteins mediate enhanced osteoblast adhesion on nanophase ceramics
TL;DR: Select enhanced osteoblast adhesion was independent of surface chemistry and material phase but was dependent on the surface topography (specifically on grain and pore size) of nanophase ceramics.
