build up nanostructured hybrid coatings by sequential deposition of bioactive glass-ceramic nanoparticles, exhibiting a negatively charged surface, and chitosan, a positively charged macromolecule (Couto et al., 2009). Such biodegradable coatings promoted the precipitation of apatitein vitroand are believed...
The main constituents of human bones are CaPO4(~60–70 wt%), collagen (~20–30 wt%) and water (up to 10 wt%) (Bocchi and Valdre1993; Skinner2005; Daculsi et al.1997). An interesting cautionary tale on the knowledge development about the structurally incorporated water in bone apatite ...
In contrast to the murine system, the expression of TRPC channels by human T cells has been a matter of debate. The use of a range of T cell lines probably explains this to some extent [62]. However, primary human CD4+T cells consistently express TRPC1 and TRPC3 [56]. TRPC3 is up...
At low Q the curves flatten, this knee is indicating a tendency to a Guinier regime64, related to the distribution of sizes and shapes of scattering objects. As observed in other multiscale systems, such as sintered ceramics, cements and rocks58,60,73, it likely connects two domains. One,...
Saphenous nerves were dissected from the inguinal region to the knee. Prior to recording the nerves were desheathed. Each nerve was placed between two suction electrodes and each end pulled through a silicone membrane, to isolate the recording and stimulating sites. The nerves were maintained in ...
After build-up, all of the scaffolds possessed sufficient green strength to withstand the air gun pressure during removal of the unbound powders (de-powdering process). However, it was difficult to remove all of the unbound powder from the scaffolds with a pore size of 0.4 and 0.6 mm. ...

To build upon the positive results of our study on fracture recovery in males, future follow-up studies could be conducted on female osteoporotic rats with ACC supplementation. In addition, since the study was conducted on an animal model with a smaller sample size, our results could not be ...

However, their applicability in load-bearing zones—such as the hip, knee, and spine—depends on their mechanical properties, which must withstand the physical demands imposed by daily activities and extended use [69]. CaPs possess inherent brittleness, which limits their fracture toughness and ...
