• openAccess   Bioactive potential of silica coatings and its effect on the adhesion of proteins to titanium implants 

      Romero-Gavilán, Francisco J; Gomes, Nuno; Sánchez-Pérez, Ana María; García-Arnáez, Iñaki; Elortza, Felix; Azkargorta, Mikel; Martín de Llano, J.J.; Carda, C.; Gurruchaga, Marilo; Suay, Julio; Goñi, Isabel Elsevier (2018-02-01)
      There is an ever-increasing need to develop dental implants with ideal characteristics to achieve specific and desired biological response in the scope of improve the healing process post-implantation. Following that ...
    • 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   Proteomic Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Monocyte Co-Cultures Exposed to a Bioactive Silica-Based Sol–Gel Coating 

      Cerqueira, Andreia; Romero-Gavilán, Francisco J; Helmholz, Heike; Azkargorta, Mikel; Elortza, Félix; Gurruchaga, Mariló; Goñi, Isabel; Willumeit-Römer, Regine; Suay, Julio American Chemical Society (2023)
      New methodologies capable of extensively analyzing the cell-material interactions are necessary to improve current in vitro characterization methods, and proteomics is a viable alternative. Also, many studies are focused ...
    • 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 ...
