No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-03-25; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia; Ti foams are attractive for orthopaedic applications due to reduced Young's modulus and ability of bone in-growth. However, poor corrosion behaviour and lack of bioactivity are yet to be overcome. In the present work, highly porous Ti samples were processed by pow...
Surgical site infections (SSI) often occur after invasive surgery, which is as a serious health problem, making it important to develop new biomaterials to prevent infections. Spider silk is a natural biomaterial with excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and controllable biodegradability. Through recombinant DNA technology, spider silk-based materials can be bioengineered and functionalized with antim...
Guided Tissue Regeneration, as well as various combinatory therapies have been employed in the repair of periodontal defects with some success; however an optimal strategy capable of restoring the anatomy and functionality of the lost periodontal tissues is still to be achieved. Platelet Lysate (PL) has great potential for tissue regeneration, as source of growth factors involved in essential stages of wound he...
