Background: Recently, the use of titanium micromesh for alveolar bone augmentation has drawn interest; however, only limited histologic data are available on the quality of the bone regenerated. Therefore, this study compared the use of 100% intraoral autogenous bone to a combination of intraoral autogenous bone (70%) and bovine porous bone mineral (BPBM) (30%) for alveolar ridge augmentation with titanium micromesh histologically and histomorphometrically.
Methods: Twelve partially edentulous patients required alveolar bone augmentation before implant insertion because of ridge resorption. The defect sites, six in the maxilla and six in the mandible, were reconstructed with particulate autologous bone (control group, N = 6) or a mixture of autologous bone and BPBM (test group, N = 6) in combination with titanium micromesh. Core biopsies were taken from the defect sites 8 to 9 months after grafting at the time of implant insertion.
Results: Newly formed compact bone with a well-organized lamellar pattern was identified in all specimens. In the samples taken from the test group, the BPBM particles were surrounded completely by newly formed bone with no signs of resorption. The mean total bone volume was 62.38% +/- 13.02% in the control group and 52.88% +/- 11.47% in the test group. The soft tissue volume was 37.61% +/- 13.02% and 29.96% +/- 12.58%, respectively, and the residual BPBM volume was 17.15% +/- 2.72% in the test group. No statistical difference was observed in the histologic parameters evaluated, irrespective of graft type and site (P >0.05).
Conclusion: Within the limits of this study, BPBM (30%) in combination with autogenous bone (70%) did not yield a lower percentage of new bone formed compared to autogenous bone alone in ridge augmentation with titanium micromesh.

Nitinol thin films functionalized with CAR-T cells for the treatment of solid tumours.

Micropatterned nickel titanium (commonly known as nitinol) thin films with complex designs, high structural resolution and excellent biocompatibility can be cheaply fabricated using magnetron sputtering. Here, we show that these benefits can be leveraged to fabricate micromesh implants that are loaded with tumour-specific human chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells for the treatment of solid tumours. In a mouse model of non-resectable ovarian cancer, the cell-loaded nitinol thin films spatially conformed to the implantation site, fostered the rapid expansion of T cells, delivered a high density of T cells directly to the tumour and significantly improved animal survival.

Background: Various attempts have been implemented using different materials and techniques to augment the maxillary sinus floor for prospect dental implant positioning.
Aim: This contemplate was conducted to assess the osteogenic capability of the maxillary sinus in a two-step sinus membrane elevation using titanium mesh to keep the formed space to place dental implants in atrophic ridges.
Materials And Methods: Titanium micromesh was customized and positioned into the sinus on one side to preserve the elevated membrane in position.
Solution-Processed Transparent Nickel-Mesh Counter Electrode with in-Situ Electrodeposited Platinum Nanoparticles for Full-Plastic Bifacial Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

A new type of embedded metal-mesh transparent electrode (EMTE) with in-situ electrodeposited catalytic platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) is developed as a high-performance counter electrode (CE) for lightweight flexible bifacial dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The thick but narrow nickel micromesh fully embedded in a plastic film provides superior electrical conductivity, optical transmittance, and mechanical stability to the novel electrode. PtNPs decorated selectively on the nickel micromesh surface provide catalytic function with minimum material cost and without interfering with optical transparency.

Purpose: An adequate bone volume for complete circumferential coverage of the implants is very important for obtaining a long-term success of oral implants. To avoid these problems various membranes and biomaterials were used, but soft tissue pressure could cause a membrane collapse toward the defect. The present work describes a ridge augmentation with titanium mesh shaped by adapting it to a bone defect in aesthetic areas.
