Evidence date ·How porous implants could help living tissue rebuild
Peer-Reviewed PaperPores, material blends and immune reactions shape how temporary implants work. A 2023 review explains why cell growth alone cannot prove tissue repair.
-
Evidence date ·Shaping plant ingredients into cell supports and medicine-carrying dressings
Review or Meta-AnalysisPlant-derived materials can support cells or carry medicines. Their structure helps explain these roles—and why lab results do not establish patient benefits.
-
Evidence date ·How temporary supports help cells attach and tissue form
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2022 review describes scaffolds that alter cell attachment and drug release. The featured cell and animal findings do not establish human tissue repair.
-
Evidence date ·Engineering a plant-derived material to release medicine
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2022 review explains how a cellulose-derived gel responds to its surroundings, why preparation matters, and what drug-delivery experiments establish.
-
Evidence date ·How fiber-based gels could support wound care and local drug delivery
Review or Meta-AnalysisHow gel connections, acidity and adhesion shape sensing and drug delivery—and why experimental wound dressings face barriers to dependable medical use.
-
Evidence date ·Inside the two-compartment gel tested to rebuild bone around rats’ teeth
Peer-Reviewed PaperTwo gel compartments release proteins on different schedules. Rat bone repair improved after 12 weeks, but a dental treatment remains an unproven prospect.
-
Evidence date ·Turning ordered protein fibers into gels, films, and filters
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review examines protein fibers in fluoride-removal composites, responsive gels and cell scaffolds, with design and production challenges still unresolved.
-
Evidence date ·How combining materials can shape a support for growing bone
Peer-Reviewed PaperA January 2021 review explains how particles, pores and water-holding networks serve tissue repair, and why those properties cannot establish patient benefits.
-
Evidence date ·Working backward from the properties a fungal material needs
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review proposes linking measurable fungal traits with computer search, modeling, and simpler descriptions to design materials for particular uses.
-
Evidence date ·Crown shine and smoothness can tell different stories
Peer-Reviewed PaperTests on 14 resin crown materials show why shine and smoothness need separate checks, what the exceptions mean, and where conclusions about dental care stop.
