Enhanced calcium ion mobilization in osteoblasts on amino group containing plasma polymer nanolayer

Susanne Staehlke; Henrike Rebl; Birgit Finke et al.

Cell & Bioscience, Vol. 8 No. 1 · 2018 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Abstract Background Biomaterial modifications—chemical and topographical—are of particular importance for the integration of materials in biosystems. Cells are known to sense these biomaterial characteristics, but it has remained unclear which physiological processes bio modifications trigger…

Analysis of the Release Characteristics of Cu-Treated Antimicrobial Implant Surfaces Using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Carmen Zietz; Andreas Fritsche; Birgit Finke et al.

Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications, Vol. 2012 · 2012 · English · DOAJ Scopus

New developments of antimicrobial implant surfaces doped with copper (Cu) ions may minimize the risk of implant-associated infections. However, experimental evaluation of the Cu release is influenced by various test parameters. The aim of our study was to evaluate the Cu release characteristics in…

Surface-Coated Polylactide Fiber Meshes as Tissue Engineering Matrices with Enhanced Cell Integration Properties

Matthias Schnabelrauch; Ralf Wyrwa; Henrike Rebl et al.

International Journal of Polymer Science, Vol. 2014 · 2014 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Poly(L-lactide-co-D/L-lactide)-based fiber meshes resembling structural features of the native extracellular matrix have been prepared by electrospinning. Subsequent coating of the electrospun fibers with an ultrathin plasma-polymerized allylamine (PPAAm) layer after appropriate preactivation with…

A Cell-Adhesive Plasma Polymerized Allylamine Coating Reduces the In Vivo Inflammatory Response Induced by Ti6Al4V Modified with Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation of Copper

Uwe Walschus; Andreas Hoene; Maciej Patrzyk et al.

Journal of Functional Biomaterials, Vol. 8 No. 3 · 2017 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Copper (Cu) could be suitable to create anti-infective implants based on Titanium (Ti), for example by incorporating Cu into the implant surface using plasma immersion ion implantation (Cu-PIII). The cytotoxicity of Cu might be circumvented by an additional cell-adhesive plasma polymerized…
