Mounting of Biomaterials for Use in Ophthalmic Cell Therapies

When used as scaffolds for cell therapies, biomaterials often present basic handling and logistical problems for scientists and surgeons alike. The quest for an appropriate mounting device for biomaterials is therefore a significant and common problem. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of the factors to consider when choosing an appropriate mounting device including those experienc...

Nanosized biomaterials for regenerative medicine

This review discusses recent developments in the field of nanosized biomaterials and their use in tissue regeneration approaches. The aim is to provide an overview of the research focused on nanoparticle-based strategies to stimulate regeneration. In particular, nanoparticles improve the regenerative capabilities of biomaterials offering ways to control surface and mechanical properties. Moreov...

Natural-Based Polyurethane Biomaterials for Medical Applications

Nanostructured Active Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering Applications

In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to the design and controlled fabrication of nanostructured materials with functional properties. The layer by layer buildup of the polyelectrolyte multilayered films from oppositely charged polyelectrolytes [1] offers new opportunities for the preparation of functionalized biomaterial coatings. This technique allows the preparation of supram...
