Impact of hydrodynamics on oral biofilm strength.

29 Sep 2009 Mechanical removal of oral biofilms is ubiquitously accepted as the best way to prevent caries and periodontal diseases. Removal effectiveness strongly depends on biofilm strength. To investigate the influence of hydrodynamics on oral biofilm ... Read more...

Smooth muscle cell adhesion in surface-modified three-dimensional copolymer scaffolds prepared from co-continuous blends.

29 Sep 2009 In this article, tissue-engineering scaffolds were fabricated from P(epsilon-CL-co-D,L-LA)-PEG-P(epsilon-CL-co-D,L-LA) copolymers using co-continuous blends with polystyrene as the porogen phase. By means of static annealing and following extraction ... Read more...

The role of fluctuations and stress on the effective viscosity of cell aggregates.

23 Sep 2009 Cell aggregates are a tool for in vitro studies of morphogenesis, cancer invasion, and tissue engineering. They respond to mechanical forces as a complex rather than simple liquid. To change an aggregate's shape, cells have to overcome energy ... Read more...
