Cataract surgery is the most common surgery in the world. However, biofouling threatens the success of these surgeries. This in vitro study investigated lubricin's ability to modify polymer surfaces to resist biofouling, specifically bacterial colonization. This study investigated surface energy changes caused by lubricin coatings as well as lubricin's ability to reduce bacterial proliferation. The...
Self-assembled DNA supramolecules have similar dimensions and biochemical properties as natural molecules in tissues, such as collagen. Therefore, these molecules have great potential to serve as a new generation of implants. In this study, twin-based linker (TBL) nanotubes, and poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles (TBL/HA/pHEMA composite) were...
Bacterial colonization of nanomodified endotracheal tubes in a bench top airway model is reported. The airway model designed for this purpose contained two polymethylmethacrylate chambers, an anterior chamber modeling the oropharynx and a posterior dual chamber simulating the lungs, connected by a tube representing the trachea. Chemical etching techniques can create nano-rough surface features on...
The purpose of this study was to develop materials and a method to kill bacteria, separating them from solution, using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) coated with various antibacterials including iron, zinc, and silver. It was found that such coated SPION alone kill bacteria, and reduce biofilm formation (which is an important mode of antibiotic resistance in device related infections)...
The objective of the present research was to determine cardiomyocyte function on poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (50:50 wt. % (PLA:PGA); PLGA) with greater amounts of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) for myocardial tissue engineering applications. The addition of CNFs could increase conductivity and strength of pure PLGA. For this reason, different PLGA:CNF ratios (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100 wt.%) were...
Rosette nanotubes (RNTs) are novel, biomimetic, synthetic, self-assembled drug delivery agents. Because of base stacking and hydrophobic interactions, the RNT hollow-tube structure can be used for incorporating drugs. Another advantage of using RNTs is their ability to be injected and become solid at body temperatures for orthopedic applications without the use of any external stimuli (such as UV...
Current operative and non-operative treatments for articular cartilage (AC) defect repair still fail to meet clinical expectations. These treatment options and challenges will be reviewed from a clinical perspective. Various polymeric and naturally occurring materials serving as scaffolds have shown promising neocartilage formation, but few studies are able to draw good clinical correlations. While...
