(author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Farrell, Eric (author)Macrophage responses following the implantation of orthopaedic implants are essential for successful implant integration in the body, partly through intimate crosstalk with human marrow stromal cells (hMSCs) in the process of new bone formation. Additive manufacturing (AM) and plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in the presence of silver...journal article 2023

Putra, N.E. (author), Leeflang, M.A. (author), Ducret, Verena (author), Patrulea, Viorica (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Perron, Karl (author), Ye, Hua (author), Zhou, J. (author), Apachitei, I. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Implant-associated infections are highly challenging to treat, particularly with the emergence of multidrug-resistant microbials. Effective preventive action is desired to be at the implant site. Surface biofunctionalization of implants through Ag-doping has demonstrated potent antibacterial results. However, it may adversely affect bone...journal article 2022

(author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Apachitei, I. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Nanoparticles (NPs) have high multifunctional potential to simultaneously enhance implant osseointegration and prevent infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Here, we present the first report on using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) to incorporate different combinations of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and silver (Ag) NPs on...journal article 2022
