Variability of the pullout strength of cancellous bone screws with cement augmentation

Background: orthopaedic surgeons often face clinical situations where improved screw holding power in cancellous bone is needed. Injectable calcium phosphate cements are one option to enhance fixation. Methods: paired screw pullout tests were undertaken in ...

Extracellular matrix-inspired growth factor delivery systems for bone regeneration

Mikaël Martino, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Growth factors are very promising molecules to enhance bone regeneration. However, their translation to clinical use has been seriously limited, facing issues related to safety and cost-effectiveness. These problems derive from the vastly supra-physiologic ...

A Current View of Functional Biomaterials for Wound Care, Molecular and Cellular Therapies

Francesco Piraino

The intricate process of wound healing involves activation of biological pathways that work in concert to regenerate a tissue microenvironment consisting of cells and external cellular matrix (ECM) with enzymes, cytokines, and growth factors. Distinct stag ...

Growth Factors Engineered for Super-Affinity to the Extracellular Matrix Enhance Tissue Healing

Mikaël Martino, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Stéphanie Elisabeth Metzger, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Jeffrey James Rice, Esra Güç, Federico Tortelli

Growth factors (GFs) are critical in tissue repair, but their translation to clinical use has been modest. Physiologically, GF interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM) components facilitate localized and spatially regulated signaling; therefore, we rea ...

Bioluminescent and micro-computed tomography imaging of bone repair induced by fibrin-binding growth factors

Mikaël Martino, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

In this work we have evaluated the capacity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and fibrin-binding platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to support cell growth and induce bone regeneration using two different imaging technologies to improve the u ...

Development of a Bisphosphonate Delivering Hydrogel for the Augmentation of Impaired Peri-Implant Bone

Ulrike Kettenberger

Osteoporosis is a major health problem in our aging society. This metabolic disease, which is characterized by a deterioration of the bone microarchitecture and a significant loss of bone mass, is affecting a rising number of mostly elderly patients. The m ...

Translation of biomechanical concepts in bone tissue engineering: from animal study to revision knee arthroplasty

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alireza Roshan Ghias, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Bone defects in revision knee arthroplasty (RKA) are often located in load-bearing regions. The goal of this study was to determine if a physiologic load could be used as an in situ osteogenic signal to the scaffolds filling the bone defects. In order to a ...
