Micro-organism and cell viability on antimicrobially modified titanium.

29 Sep 2009 When titanium is anodized by discharge in NaCl solution, both antimicrobial activity and osteoconductivity are conferred. The viability of adherent micro-organisms and cells on antimicrobial titanium remains uncertain. We hypothesized that a thin ... Read more...

Runx2, osx, and dspp in tooth development.

29 Sep 2009 The transcription factors Runx2 and Osx are necessary for osteoblast and odontoblast differentiation, while Dspp is important for odontoblast differentiation. The relationship among Runx2, Osx, and Dspp during tooth and craniofacial bone development ... Read more...

Expansion and characterization of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultured on fragmin/protamine microparticle-coated matrix with fibroblast growth factor-2 in low serum medium.

30 Aug 2009 Fragmin/protamine microparticles (F/P MPs) can be stably coated onto plastic surfaces. A capability of F/P MP-coated plates was investigated to immobilize fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 as a substratum to expand human bone marrow-derived ... Read more...
