Book The Geometric Induction of Bone Formation

Download or read book The Geometric Induction of Bone Formation written by Ugo Ripamonti and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Geometric Induction of Bone Formation describes new biomimetic biomaterials that offer mechanistic osteogenic surfaces for the autonomous and spontaneous induction of bone formation without the addition of osteogenic soluble molecular signals of the transforming growth factor-β supergene family. The chapters frame our understanding of regenerative medicine in primate species, including humans. The goal is to unravel the fundamental biological mechanisms of bone formation unique to non-human and human primates. The broad target audience dovetails with several disciplines both in the academic and private biotech sectors primarily involved in molecular biology, tissue biology, tissue engineering, biomaterial science, and reconstructive, orthopedic, plastic, and dental surgery. Key Features Includes outstanding images of undecalcified whole mounted sections Summarizes non-human primate research – ideal for clinical translation Reviews methods for creating devices capable of making bone autonomously, i.e. an intrinsically osteo-inductive bioreactor and/or biomaterial Describes the spontaneous induction of bone formation including a whole spectrum of tissue biology, from basic molecular biology to clear-cut morphology and pre-clinical application in non-human primate species Intended for audiences in both academic research and the biotech industry

Book Advances in Skeletal Reconstruction Using Bone Morphogenetic Proteins

Download or read book Advances in Skeletal Reconstruction Using Bone Morphogenetic Proteins written by T. Sam Lindholm and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is a special growth factor for the induction of new bone formation. Today, the extract of the BMP originating from bone tissue as well as genetically modified BMPs, particularly BMP-2 and -7, can be used.Though the BMP as an implant is as yet an unregistered drug or medical tool in Europe and the US, specialists are confident that it will obtain final government approval based on the results of clinical tests conducted on more than 3000 patients.This important book focuses mainly on the clinical BMP treatment of patients OCo namely in orthopaedic cases (fractures, bone transplants, non-unions and pseudoarthroses), maxillofacial surgery (sinus lift before dental implantation), dental surgery (filling out of cavities) and spinal surgery (using a BMP implant instead of the patient's own bone)."

Book Spatial Branching Processes  Random Snakes and Partial Differential Equations

Download or read book Spatial Branching Processes Random Snakes and Partial Differential Equations written by Jean-Francois Le Gall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces several remarkable new probabilistic objects that combine spatial motion with a continuous branching phenomenon and are closely related to certain semilinear partial differential equations (PDE). The Brownian snake approach is used to give a powerful representation of superprocesses and also to investigate connections between superprocesses and PDEs. These are notable because almost every important probabilistic question corresponds to a significant analytic problem.

Book Learning from Nature How to Design New Implantable Biomaterials  From Biomineralization Fundamentals to Biomimetic Materials and Processing Routes

Download or read book Learning from Nature How to Design New Implantable Biomaterials From Biomineralization Fundamentals to Biomimetic Materials and Processing Routes written by Rui L. Reis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of materials for any replacement or regeneration application should be based on the thorough understanding of the structure to be substituted. This is true in many fields, but particularly exigent in substitution and regeneration medicine. The demands upon the material properties largely depend on the site of application and the function it has to restore. Ideally, a replacement material should mimic the living tissue from a mechanical, chemical, biological and functional point of view. Of course this is much easier to write down than to implement in clinical practice. Mineralized tissues such as bones, tooth and shells have attracted, in the last few years, considerable interest as natural anisotropic composite structures with adequate mechanical properties. In fact, Nature is and will continue to be the best materials scientist ever. Who better than nature can design complex structures and control the intricate phenomena (processing routes) that lead to the final shape and structure (from the macro to the nano level) of living creatures? Who can combine biological and physico-chemical mechanisms in such a way that can build ideal structure-properties relationships? Who, else than Nature, can really design smart structural components that respond in-situ to exterior stimulus, being able of adapting constantly their microstructure and correspondent properties? In the described philosophy line, mineralized tissues and biomineralization processes are ideal examples to learn-from for the materials scientist of the future.
