Bone and Tissue Regeneration Insights
The interesting article reported in Bone and Tissue Regeneration Insights by Wu and Xiao entitled “Evaluation of the in vitro bioactivity of bioceramics” contrasts two methods (Simulated body fluid (SBF) and cell culture experiments) which have been commonly used to evaluate the in vitro bioactivity of bioceramics. Limitations in estimating...
Properties of Hydroxyapatite from Bovine Teeth (20/Jan/2010)
The objective of this work was to study the production of hydroxyapatite (HA) from bovine teeth. Hydroxyapatite (HA) was produced from bovine teeth powder after calcination at 1150 °C. It was discovered that the sample preparation process influences its properties, so, crystal structure and thermal stability of HA were investigated....
Evaluation of the In Vitro Bioactivity of Bioceramics (07/Sep/2009)
Two common methods have been used to evaluate the in vitro bioactivity of bioceramics for the application of bone repair. One is to evaluate the ability of apatite formation by soaking ceramics in simulated body fluids (SBF); the other method is to evaluate the effect of ceramics on osteogenic differentiation using cell experiments. Both methods have their own drawbacks in evaluating the in vitro bioactivity of bioceramics. In this commentary paper we review the application...
Tissue Engineering Options for Ligament Healing (03/Sep/2009)
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of five ligaments in the knee that are important for stability and kinematics. It is also the most commonly injured ligament of the knee and due to its poor healing potential, severe damage warrants surgical intervention including complete replacement. Ligaments are longitudinally arranged,...
Biological Responses to New Advanced Surface Modifications of Endosseous Medical Implants (29/Jul/2009)
Implantable medical devices are increasingly important in the practice of modern medicine. However, patients with severely poor bone quality and quantity require highest implant osseointegration for the long-term success. A number of newly-developed advanced surface modifications of medical implants have recently been introduced to the medical implant system. Understanding the...
Cell & Tissue Transplantation & Therapy
Adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) have similar properties to the previously characterized bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). However, adipose tissue is easier to get in larger volumes, the procedure is less painful and at lower risks, and yield more stem cells compared to bone marrow. Moreover, considering...
Dementia as an Exclusion to Tissue Donation (24/Aug/2009)
The risk of transmission of potentially fatal infectious diseases from donor to recipient via tissue transplantation cannot practically be eliminated, but must be minimised. Careful screening of potential and actual donors is the major available tool to achieve this. Screening usually involves investigation of patient medical records for not only...

S.K. Tagboto University Hospital of North Staffordshire, Royal Infirmary, Princes Road, Stoke-on-Trent ST4 7LN. Abstract Traditional experimental methods of assessing renal function typically rely on whole kidneys and subsequent measures of glomerular filtration rate. In this study, we measured the viability of kidney biopsy samples of fixed...

Rehabilitation Process and Outcome
A patient with a history of severe head injury 10 years ago regained ability to walk after years of being bound to a wheelchair. During the last psychiatric hospitalization, quetiapine was increased to therapeutic dose using a normal titration. As a result the patient developed dystonia of multiple muscle groups...
