Article Synopsis
  • Joint defects can severely limit mobility and are difficult to treat, but new biomaterial-based interventions show promise in regenerating the bone-cartilage interface and improving patient quality of life.* -
  • Researchers created drug-loaded, porous tissue scaffolds using materials like nano-hydroxyapatite and chitosan, which mimic the properties of cancellous bone and can slowly release therapeutic substances.* -
  • Lab tests revealed that mouse preosteoblast cells attached and grew on these scaffolds, and analysis indicated that the drug triamcinolone acetonide effectively reduced inflammation while promoting bone development, suggesting the scaffolds could be useful in clinical settings.*

With an increase in the demand for skin regeneration products, there is a noticeable increase in developing materials that encourage, wound healing and skin regeneration. It has been reported that antioxidants play an important role in anti-inflammatory reactions, cellular proliferation and remodeling phase of wound healing. While consideration all these factors, a novel α-tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) (VE) loaded bi-layered electrospun membrane, based on lower polycaprolactone (PCL) layer and upper polylactic acid (PLA) layer, was fabricated through electrospinning.

The aim of this laboratory study was to evaluate the monomer leaching and degree of conversion (DC) from experimental bioactive resin composites (RBCs) and to do comparison with commercial bulkfill and packable resin composites. Experimental dimethacrylatebased resin composites were reinforced with silanated nano-hydroxyapatite (30 and 45 wt%). The ion leaching and DC of these resin composites were compared and contrasted with SDR™ and Filtek P60™ by using the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively.

The success of a dental implant relies on the presence of an optimal alveolar ridge. The aim of this study was to fabricate HPMC crosslinked chitosan based scaffolds for alveolar bone repair. Our results indicated that HPMC crosslinked CH/BG foams presented better morphological structure (132-90.

Alveolar bone loss is associated with infections and its augmentation is a pre-requisite for the success of dental implants. In present study, we aim to develop and evaluate novel freeze dried doxycycline loaded chitosan (CS)/hydroxyapatite (HA) spongy scaffolds where hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) was added as a crosslinker. Scaffolds displayed compressive strength of 14MPa/cm and 0.
