Biomaterial Degradation Products affect Regenerating Glia Independently of Surface Properties

This study shows that degradation products of biomaterials affect Schwann cell differentiation and myelination independently of surface properties.

In vivo Biomedical Imaging of Immune Tolerant, Radiopaque Nanoparticle-Embedded Polymeric Device Degradation

This study demonstrates that radiopaque TaOx nanoparticles can be safely incorporated into polymer devices for in vivo CT monitoring without affecting degradation or immune response.

Incorporating Radiopacity into Implantable Polymeric Biomedical Devices for Clinical Radiological Monitoring

This study evaluates radiopaque polymeric biomedical devices containing TaOx nanoparticles, showing they maintain structural integrity and radiopacity over 20 weeks in vitro and in vivo.

Radiopaque Implantable Biomaterials for Nerve Repair

This study introduces radiopaque biomaterials for nerve repair by incorporating tantalum oxide nanoparticles into PCL and PLGA films, balancing imaging functionality with biological response.

Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI with clinical hepatospecific MRI contrast agents in pigs: initial experience

This study evaluates DCE-MRI with hepato-specific contrast agents in pigs, showing similar hepatic signal enhancement to humans for Eovist but different kinetics for Multihance, suggesting Eovist is better for porcine models.
