Stable and extensive blood vessel networks are required for cell function and survival in engineered tissues. A number of different strategies are currently being investigated to enhance biomaterial vascularization with screening primarily through extensive in vitro and in vivo experiments. In this article, we describe an agent-based model (ABM) developed to evaluate various strategies in silic...

Membrane bioincompatibility was demonstrated by successive white blood cell counts and C3a generation. Pulse wave analysis was obtained by applanation tonometry (SphygmoCor) in a sequential way: basal, after 30 minutes with nul ultrafiltration, and after a complete dialysis with ultrafiltration. At 15 minutes of haemodialysis, significant decrease in leukocyte count occurred: 6801 ± 1186 versus...

introduction: adequate seal of iatrogenically perforated area within the root canal system can improve the long term treatment prognosis. this in vitro study evaluated the sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement and biodentine in repair of furcation perforation in primary molars. methods and materials: a total of 61 freshly extracted primary ma...
