Large bone defects are the leading contributor to disability worldwide, affecting approximately 1.71 billion people. Conventional graft treatments show several disadvantages that negatively impact their therapeutic outcomes and limit clinical practice. Therefore, much effort has been made devise new more effective approaches. In this context, tissue engineering (BTE), involving use of biomaterials which able mimic natural architecture bone, emerged as a key strategy for regeneration large...
Bone defects restoration has always been an arduous challenge in the orthopedic field due to limitations of conventional grafts. tissue engineering offers alternative approach by using biomimetic materials, stem cells, and growth factors that are able improve regeneration bone tissue. Different biomaterials have attracted great interest BTE applications, including poly(3-hexylthiofene) (P3HT) conductive polymer, whose primary advantage is its capability provide a native extracellular...
Cu addition to alloys for biomedical applications has been of great interest reduce bacterial growth. In situ-alloyed Ti6Al4V(ELI)-3at.%Cu was successfully manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). Even so, post-heat treatments are required avoid distortions and/or achieve required/desired mechanical and fatigue properties. The present study is focused on the investigation microstructural changes in L-PBF after stress relieving annealing treatments, as well their influence osteoblast...
