• openAccess   Characterization of serum proteins attached to distinct sol–gel hybrid surfaces 

      Gomes, Nuno; Romero-Gavilán, Francisco J; Sánchez-Pérez, Ana María; GURRUCHAGA, MARILO; Azkargorta, Mikel; Elortza, Felix; Ibáñez, Maria; Iloro, Ibon; Suay, Julio; Goñi, Isabel Wiley (2017-07)
      The success of a dental implant depends on its osseointegration, an important feature of the implant biocompatibility. In this study, two distinct sol–gel hybrid coating formulations [50% methyltrimethoxysilane: 50% ...
    • openAccess   Proteome analysis of human serum proteins adsorbed onto different titanium surfaces used in dental implants 

      Romero-Gavilán, Francisco J; Gomes, N. C.; Ródenas, Joaquin; Sánchez, Ana; Azkargorta, Mikel; Iloro, Ibon; Elortza, Felix; García-Arnáez, Iñaki; GURRUCHAGA, MARILO; Goñi, Isabel; Suay, Julio Taylor & Francis (2017)
      Titanium dental implants are commonly used due to their biocompatibility and biochemical properties; blasted acid-etched Ti is used more frequently than smooth Ti surfaces. In this study, physico-chemical characterisation ...
    • openAccess   Proteomic analysis of silica hybrid sol-gel coatings: a potential tool for predicting the biocompatibility of implants in vivo 

      Romero-Gavilán, Francisco J; Sánchez-Pérez, Ana María; Gomes, Nuno; Azkargorta, Mikel; Iloro, Ibon; Elortza, Felix; Gurruchaga, Marilo; Goñi, Isabel; Suay, Julio Taylor & Francis (2017)
      The interactions of implanted biomaterials with the host organism determine the success or failure of an implantation. Normally, their biocompatibility is assessed using in vitro tests. Unfortunately, in vitro and in vivo ...
