Self Assembling Bioactive Materials for Cell Adhesion in Tissue Repair
This work involved the study of biodegradable and biocompatible materials that have the potential to modify tissue engineering scaffolds through self assembly, generating multiple layers that deliver bioactivity. Diblock biomaterials containing cholesteryl moieties and oligomers of lactic acid …

Poly(L-Lactic Acid) Langmuir Monolayers at the Air/Water Interface and Langmuir-Blodgett Films on Solid Substrates: Phase Behavior, Surface Morphology, and Crystallinity
Controlling the surface morphology and degree of crystallinity of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) substrates have recently attracted considerable attention because of their applications in cell adhesion, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. Several techniques have been used to fabricate PLLA …

The wettability of biomaterials determines the protein adsorption and the cellular responses
… widely used as components of medical devices and implants such as hemodialysers, bioartificial organs as well as vascular and recombinant surgery. Most of the devices cannot avoid the blood contact in their use. When the polymer materials come in contact with blood they can cause different …

Synthesis and Microscopic Characterizations of Virus Nanoparticle-Based Composite Materials
<p>Plant viruses and virus-like protein cages (VLPs) have shown significant promise for a wide range of biomedical applications. In contrast to the artificial nanomaterials, VLPs exhibit unique properties including their well-organized three dimensional (3D) structures, monodispersity, …
