1. Nanostructured Artificial Biointerfaces
Abstract : AbstractThe interactions occurring between biological systems and the surface of biomaterials hasbeen an area of strong research focus for a number of decades. There has been a realisation ofthe importance of macromolecular interactions and a consequent need to understandbiointerfacial events at the nanometer length-scale. READ MORE

2. Functionalized Biomaterial Surfaces by Micro- and Nanofabrication
Abstract : In the field of biomaterials, well-defined nano- and micropatterns or features at material surfaces can serve both as models for investigating material-biosystem interactions and as functional features for inducing, hindering or measuring specific bioreactions or biologic responses. Important bioreactions include protein adsorption and conformation, cell attachment and function, and adhesion and function of organized tissues or whole organisms. READ MORE

3. Connecting sialic acid expression to cancer cell characteristics : Novel tools for detection, imaging, and analysis
Abstract : Sialic acid (SA) plays a crucial role in many biological processes. Cell surface SA expression is usually analyzed with antibodies or lectins; however, they are costly and with poor stability. READ MORE

4. Surface Modifications for Biointerfaces - Supported Lipid Bilayers and some Aspects of Microcontact Printing
Abstract : Biointerfaces engage several disciplines: physics, materials science, chemistry, biology and medicine. They are found on the surfaces of implants, tubes and tanks in the food industry or on the hull of a boat. In this work, model surfaces aimed for contact with biological systems were studied.

5. Nanoscale Osseointegration : Characterization of Biomaterials and their Interfaces with Electron Tomography
Abstract : Bone response is one of the key determining factors in the overall success of biomaterials intended for bone regeneration and osseointegration. Understanding the formation of bone at an implant surface may lead to the improved design of biomaterials for the future. READ MORE
