Enhanced sinterability and in vitro bioactivity of barium-doped akermanite ceramic

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of substituting barium (Ba2+) ions on the structural, mechanical and in vitro biological properties of akermanite prepared via high-energy wet planetary ball milling and sintering was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Growth Factors in Bioactive Coatings.

TL;DR: The incorporation of growth factors in a bioactive coating represents a novel approach in bone tissue engineering, in which osteoinduction is enhanced in order to create the optimal conditions for the bone healing process, which crucially affects implant fixation as discussed by the authors.
