Multifunctional hydroxyapatite and poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles for the local delivery of cholecalciferol
(Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2013)
Cholecalciferol, vitamin D3, plays an important role in bone metabolism by regulating extracellular levels of calcium. Presented here is a study on the effects of the local delivery of cholecalciferol (D3) using nanoparticulate ...
Osteogenic and Antimicrobial Nanoparticulate Calcium Phosphate and Poly-(D, L-Lactide-co-Glycolide) Powders for the Treatment of Osteomyelitis
(Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2013)
Development of a material for simultaneous sustained and localized delivery of antibiotics and induction of spontaneous regeneration of hard tissues affected by osteomyelitis stands for an important clinical need. In this ...
The effect of the androstane lung cancer inhibitor content on the cell-selective toxicity of hydroxyapatite-chitosan-PLGA nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2018)
An androstane (17β-hydroxy-17α-picolyl-androst-5-en-3β-yl-acetate (derivative A)) cancer inhibitor was successfully captured in a carrier made of nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HAp) coated with chitosan-PLGA polymer blends ...
Hydrothermally processed 1D hydroxyapatite: Mechanism of formation and biocompatibility studies
(Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2016)
Recent developments in bone tissue engineering have led to an increased interest in one-dimensional (1D) hydroxyapatite (HA) nano- and micro-structures such as wires, ribbons and tubes. They have been proposed for use as ...
