Article Abstract

A double-layered model is proposed for numerically simulating osteoblast adhesion on surface-engineered biomaterials. The proposed model consists of molecular and cellular motions based on theoretical and experimental evidence and creates predictive simulations from sparse experimental data. The comparison of numerical solutions and experimental data reveals that the proposed model can explain the nonlinear behaviour of osteoblast adhesion on material surfaces in respect to nanophase grain size (0-100 nm). The model further provides insight into the optimisation of nanophase grain size on the surface of the biomaterial.

This review concentrates on the electroactive ceramic biointerfaces inspired by bone piezoelectricity for advanced ceramic biomaterials. Bone generates electrical potentials through the piezoelectric properties of collagen fibrils and apatite minerals under mechanical loading. These electrical signals influence osteoconductivity and regenerative capacity by osteogenic cells.

Background: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) relies on biocompatible membranes to support osteogenesis. 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE)-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (xHyA) has shown promise in enhancing bone regeneration, yet its mechanisms remain unclear.

Objective: This study evaluates the osteogenic effects of xHyA-functionalized native pericardium collagen membrane (NPCM) and ribose-crosslinked collagen membrane (RCCM) using an airlift culture model with SaOS-2 cells.

Bacterial infections, aseptic loosening, and poor osseointegration remain challenges for orthopedic implants. In this study, we developed a dual-network polyelectrolyte antibacterial coating for orthopedic implants to prevent bacterial infections. The coating was prepared via UV-triggered in situ polymerization, composed of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and polyacrylic acid (PAA), with enhanced mechanical properties due to electrostatic interactions between them.
