Enhancement of aptamer immobilization using egg shell-derived nano-sized spherical hydroxyapatite for thrombin detection in neuroclinic

Facial Bone Reconstruction Using both Marine or Non-Marine Bone Substitutes: Evaluation of Current Outcomes in a Systematic Literature Review

“…Finally, marine collagen and derived bone can be considered a viable alternative, thanks mainly to its microscopic structure that would favor the metabolism of new bone tissue and hence its formation. It is similar to those found in the human spongiform bone and thus has osteoconductive abilities [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. The porosity characteristics reflect the optimal ones, and the compression resistance is high but has little resistance to tension.…”

“…After the study selection, a new division related to the kind of bone graft has been performed: Autlogous Bone: Thirteen studies [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]; Homologous Bone: Five studies [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]; Xenograft or Allograft material and bone derived from animal or synthetic origin: Ten studies [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]; Marine collagen material: Eleven studies [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. …”

“…The data of the presented paper reflected how, for clinical application of the developed aptasensor, thrombin levels in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples obtained from patients with Multiple Sclerosis, Myastenia Gravis, Epilepsy, Parkinson, polyneuropathy and healthy donors were analyzed using both the aptasensor and commercial ELISA kit. The results showed that the proposed system is a promising candidate for clinical analysis of thrombin [ 53 ].…”

Microwave assistant synthesis of calcium phosphate minerals using hen’s eggshells as a calcium source

“…They employed a high-temperature furnace during shells preparation and they obtained pure hydroxyapatite crystals with nano-rod morphology and faceted surfaces of about 15-20 nm width and diameter and 30-70 nm length as their final product. Derkus et al (Derkus et al, 2016) presented a mixed synthesis method combining microwave irradiation with ultrasonification. The obtained nano-HA particles were classified as spherical with the average diameter of 60-80 nm.…”
