Modifications were performed on a biomimetic solution (SBF), according to previous knowledge on the behavior of ions present in its composition, in order to obtain apatite coatings onto Ultra-High Mol...
Abstract
We are developing a biomimetic controller to restore BION-assisted reaching movements to quadriplegic patients. The controller has a hierarchical structure similar to that of the central ner...
A novel approach to the mimicking of enzyme-catalyzed bond-forming reactions has been examined using multifunctionalized chiral crown ethers. In addition to the 18-crown-6 moiety as a binding site, th...
Synthetic organic chemistry normally achieves selectivity by manipulation of the intrinsic reactivity of the substrate, but enzyme use is quite a different principle. The geometry of the enzyme-substr...
Abstract
Biomimetics is a general description for engineering a process or system that mimics biology. The term emerged from biochemistry and applies to an infinite range of chemical and mechanical p...
Biomaterials and tissue engineering technologies are becoming increasingly important in biomedical practice, particularly as the population ages. Cellular responses depend on topographical properties ...
