Nano-Rough OSSEAN Surface Changes Cellular Genetic Expression and Induces Faster Healing of Dental Implants

As reported in the internationally renowned scientific journal, Bone [in press for Aug. 2014], a research team from New York University has confirmed what scientific developers at Intra-Lock® International, Inc. have known for several years: the fractal, nano-rough OSSEAN® surface developed for their dental implants actually changes the cellular genetic expression – or the fate of stem cells – at the nano-level, which in turn induces faster healing of implants.

UCSB Researchers Design Novel Silver Nanoparticle for Efficient Drug Delivery

Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have designed a nanoparticle that has a couple of unique — and important — properties. Spherical in shape and silver in composition, it is encased in a shell coated with a peptide that enables it to target tumor cells. What's more, the shell is etchable so those nanoparticles that don't hit their target can be broken down and eliminated. The research findings appear today in the journal Nature Materials.
