1. 1. Characterization of Protein Surface Interactions : Collagen and Osteocalcin

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Patrik Johansson; [2013]
   Keywords : Osteocalcin; Collagen; SFG; ToF-SIMS; XPS; AFM; Orientation; Surface;

   Abstract : This work investigates how the proteins collagen type I and human osteocalcin interact with various surfaces. A pH-series of collagen adsorbed onto methyl terminated self-assembled monolayers has been made and the results indicate that less tropocollagen is found on the surfaces at pH below 6. READ MORE

3. 2. Osteoblast Behaviour on Injectable Biomaterials Intended for Augmentation of Vertebral Compression Fractures

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Sandra Ramstedt; [2007]
   Keywords : vertebral compression fractures; osteoblasts; injectable biomaterials; Ca-aluminate; Bis-GMA; PMMA; cell studies;

   Abstract : Biomaterials used for stabilization of compressed vertebraes due to osteoporosis, have mainly been based on resin materials, like PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), but have recently expanded to consist of injectable ceramics, such as calcium-aluminate. In this in vitro study human osteoblast-like cells, MG-63, were cultured on three different injectable biomaterials based on: Ca-aluminate, Bis-GMA (bisphenol A-glycidylmethacrylate) and PMMA, to investigate the cellular response elicited by these materials.
