Natural medicines have long been used to treat physiological ailments where both ginger (gingerol) and garlic (allicin) are key players in immune system promotion, reduction blood pressure, lowering inflammation response. With their efficacy bone healing, these compounds great value as medicinal additives scaffolds for localized treatment support tissue formation, along with providing natural therapeutic benefits. Utilization of 3D-printed (3DP) engineering drug delivery vehicles extracts...

Traditional infection prevention and treatment methods include synthetic antibiotics, which can cause severe adverse side effects. Carvacrol thymol are biologically active monoterpenoid extractants from oregano leaves with antibiotic capabilities; however, little is known regarding their effects on bone tissue engineering. The objective of this work to understand osteogenesis, specifically osteoblast osteoclast cells, surface-modified Ti6Al4V plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings. This...

Vitamin D3 is a hydrophobic micronutrient and known for inhibiting osteoclastic bone resorption in vivo via suppression of the Receptor Activator Nuclear factor-Kappa B (RANK ligand) expression osteoblasts. Although vitamin D well-known its promotion health, little on effects directly cells. The objective this study was to understand release from 3D printed calcium phosphate scaffolds towards cell proliferation. In study, cholecalciferol, common intake form D3, successfully able scaffold...
