The remarkable mechanical properties of bone are attributed to the hierarchical organization of microscopic structures made up of collagen and mineral spanning across the nano- to microscale 1 ...

Bone is a calcified structural tissue, present in all vertebrate life. Fundamentally, bone is a composite primarily composed of a highly substituted, poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite mineral phase and a primarily collagenous organic phase...

Designing materials for bone tissue regeneration necessitates the provision of various properties to mimic the tissue microenvironment...

Lipid-modified low molecular weight polyethyleneimines LMW PEIs are promising non-viral gene delivery systems that have been successfully explored for the treatment of various diseases through the delivery of plasmid DNA pDNA or mRNA to expression therapeutic proteins thereby restoring the defective protein, for the knockdown of aberrant proteins using RNA interference RNAi with short interfering RNA siRNA or for the complete knockout of the gene using CRISPR technology 1, 2 ...

In recent years, zinc and its alloys have attracted the attention of the scientific community as biomaterials with high potential for the fabrication of biomedical implant devices...
