Abstract

Porous titanium scaffolds with different unit cell type (tetrahedron and octahedron) and pore size (500 µm and 1000 µm) were fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM), and the effects of unit cell type and pore size on their fatigue properties and cell affinity were studied. The fatigue properties were performed by static and dynamic mechanical testing, while the cell affinity was evaluated in vitro with mouse osteoblast cells. It was found that octahedron scaffolds exhibited superior static mechanical properties, longer fatigue lives and higher fatigue strength in comparison to those of tetrahedron ones. As expected, scaffolds with 1000 µm pore resulted in lower compressive properties and shorter fatigue lives compared to those with 500 µm pore. The differences were analyzed based on the unit cell structure, porosity, and manufacturing imperfections. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and immunofluorescence showed that cells spread better on octahedron scaffolds than those on tetrahedron ones. Meanwhile, the scaffolds with 1000 µm pore were more suitable for cell attachment and growth within the same unit cell owing to higher porosity. The comparison of different pore geometry on the mechanical and biological property provid...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
