21. Exploring microfluidics as a tool to study cell-biomaterial interactions
Abstract : Considering the tremendous amount of research on the development of novel biomaterials, relatively few of these have reached the patient. This can at least in part be explained by the lack of predictive power of the currently used in vitro models, which are nowadays recognized to be too reductionist to accurately predict in vivo complexity.

22. Glass Ionomer Cements with Improved Bioactive and Antibacterial Properties
Abstract : Dental restorative cements are placed in a harsh oral environment where they are subjected to thermal shock, chemical degradation, and repeating masticatory force. The ideal restorative dental cements should have superior mechanical properties, chemical stability, aesthetic, good handling properties, biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, and preferably bioactivity.

24. Nanofeatures of Biomaterials and their Impact on the Inflammatory Response
Abstract : Nanomaterials offer an advantage over traditional biomaterials since cells naturally communicate via nanoscale interactions. The extracellular matrix, for example, modulates adhesion and cellular functions via nanoscale features. READ MORE
