Mineralizing Coating on 3D Printed Scaffolds for the Promotion of Osseointegration (2022)
Journal Article
Hasan, A., Bagnol, R., Owen, R., Latif, A., Rostam, H. M., Elsharkawy, S., …Mata, A. (2022). Mineralizing Coating on 3D Printed Scaffolds for the Promotion of Osseointegration. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 10, Article 836386. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2022.836386

Design and fabrication of implants that can perform better than autologous bone grafts remain an unmet challenge for the hard tissue regeneration in craniomaxillofacial applications. Here, we report an integrated approach combining additive manufactu... Read More about Mineralizing Coating on 3D Printed Scaffolds for the Promotion of Osseointegration.

Rational design of hydrogels for immunomodulation (2022)
Journal Article
Bu, W., Wu, Y., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., Sun, H., & Mata, A. (2022). Rational design of hydrogels for immunomodulation. Regenerative Biomaterials, 9, Article rbac009. https://doi.org/10.1093/rb/rbac009

The immune system protects organisms against endogenous and exogenous harm and plays a key role in tissue development, repair and regeneration. Traditional immunomodulatory biologics exhibit limitations including degradation by enzymes, short half-li... Read More about Rational design of hydrogels for immunomodulation.

Embracing complexity in biomaterials design (2022)
Journal Article
Azevedo, H. S., & Mata, A. (2022). Embracing complexity in biomaterials design. Personnel Assessment and Decisions, 6, Article 100039. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbiosy.2022.100039

Animate materials, man-made materials behaving like living systems, are attracting enormous interest across a range of sectors, from construction and transport industry to medicine. In this leading opinion article, we propose that embracing complexit... Read More about Embracing complexity in biomaterials design.
