Low oxygen tension increased fibronectin fragment induced catabolic activities--response prevented with biomechanical signals.
(2013-10-25)INTRODUCTION: The inherent low oxygen tension in normal cartilage has implications on inflammatory conditions associated with osteoarthritis (OA). Biomechanical signals will additionally contribute to changes in tissue ... -
Self-assembly in nature: Using the principles of nature to create complex nanobiomaterials
(2013-11-01)Self-assembly is a ubiquitous process in biology where it plays numerous important roles and underlies the formation of a wide variety of complex biological structures. Over the past two decades, materials scientists have ... -
Antimicrobial, mechanical and thermal studies of silver particle-loaded polyurethane.
(2013-12-09)Silver-particle-incorporated polyurethane films were evaluated for antimicrobial activity towards two different bacteria: Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Distributed silver particles sourced ... -
Interleukin-1β sequesters hypoxia inducible factor 2α to the primary cilium.
(2013-12-13)BACKGROUND: The primary cilium coordinates signalling in development, health and disease. Previously we have shown that the cilium is essential for the anabolic response to loading and the inflammatory response to ... -
Elastic biodegradable starch/ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol fibre-mesh scaffolds for tissue engineering applications
(2014-07-15)The fabrication of a biomaterial scaffold, with adequate physical and structural properties for tissue engineering applications, is reported. A blend of starch with ethylene-vinyl alcohol (50/50 w/w, SEVA-C) is used to ... -
