Upon implantation dose and average beam flux, the retained concentration of Fe implants ranges between 22 at.% and lower than 10 at.%.
Upon implantation, α-TCP tends to convert to CDHA, which drastically reduces further degradation rate.
Upon implantation, the neuro-scaffolds integrate efficiently within host tissue forming a primitive neural tissue.
Upon implantation, unmodified natural materials are subject to chemical and enzymatic degradation, seriously decreasing the life of the prosthesis.
Upon implantation to a wound site this should ensure that encapsulated cells are able to replace the damaged tissue after sufficient proliferation of the co-cultured cell type or sufficient vascularisation of the construct.
Upon implantation of the ligands at the heterotopic site (here: muscle) we observed a very different picture (Fig. 8b, for statistics see Additional file 9: Table S3).
Upon implantation of the polymer into the pouch, the cut was sutured using a nonabsorbable surgical black braided silk thread (Relyonpac, India).
However, such conventional tissue engineering approaches suffer from inherent problems of non-homogeneous distribution of cells, failure to integrate and vascularize upon implantation with subsequent rejection of the implanted biomaterial along with formed skin (Verseijden et al. 2010).
A significant enhancement, by at least a factor of two, of implant size was also found upon implantation of embryonic pig liver in Factor VIII KO SCID mice, as evaluated by ELISA for pig blood albumin levels (Fig. 3D).
The survival and functioning of a bone biomaterial upon implantation requires a rapidly forming and stably functioning vascularization that connects the implant to the recipient.
The material does not become more crystalline upon implantation.
