This study investigates how material composition and implantation site affect in vivo degradation rates of tissue engineering devices using CT-visible radiopaque composites.

This study examines how porous device design influences fibroblast activation into myofibroblasts, showing that polymer degradation and nanoparticle surface features significantly impact fibrotic responses.

This paper develops a radiopaque 3D printed scaffold using Bi2O3-doped PCL for in vivo monitoring with X-ray technologies, showing good radiographic visibility and mechanical properties.

This study tests the feasibility of using computed tomography (CT) to characterize porosity in biomedical implants under physiological conditions in pre-clinical systems.

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