Natural medicinal compounds coated porous ceramic scaffolds to enhance bone healing
Abstract Researchers at WSU have produced a 3D printing curcumin coated porous tricalcium phosphate scaffolds enhanced bone formation for faster healing.Curcumin, derived from the rhizomes of the turmeric plant, regulates the expression of genes involved in metastasis, cell proliferation, angiogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. However, its poor bioavailability...

In-vitro Biocompatibility of Laser Processed Ta Coatings on Ti (former title: Bone Replacement Materials)
AbstractLow density, low stiffness load-bearing implant structures are a dream for orthopedic surgeons. In total hip replacements (THR), dense metals with higher density, stiffness, and strength than natural bone are traditionally used to replace the diseased or damaged hip, and help restore the natural hip function of the patient. Typical lifetime...

Anti-Microbial Silver-Doped Stainless Steel Implants/Nails
Abstract
For
many years silver has been used as a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent, applied
towards reducing infections of burn victims, water treatment, treating textiles,
among others. With an increasing amount of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the
utility of silver coatings and treatments are again being recognized as a cost-
effective...
