Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Maria-Angeles Arenas"
- Maria-Angeles Arenas' research primarily focuses on the development and assessment of novel antimicrobial and osteostimulatory biomaterials to combat infections related to orthopedic implants, including the optimization of stainless steel and titanium alloys for better resistance to bacterial adherence.
- Recent findings highlight the effectiveness of fluoride and phosphorus-doped titanium alloys in preventing prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) through methods such as local antibiotic therapy and controlled drug release, which demonstrate promising in vitro and in vivo results.
- The studies indicate that modifications to conventional materials significantly reduce bacterial colonization, suggesting potential strategies for enhancing the longevity and safety of orthopedic devices, thereby decreasing associated healthcare costs and patient morbidity.
