Wang, L. (author), Fang, G. (author), Qian, L. (author), Leeflang, M.A. (author), Duszczyk, J. (author), Zhou, J. (author)Magnesium alloys have, in recent years, been recognized as highly promising biodegradable materials, especially for vascular stent applications. Forming of magnesium alloys into high-precision thin-wall tubes has however presented a technological barrier in the fabrication of vascular stents, because of the poor workability of magnesium at room...journal article 2014

(author), Zanov, F. (author), Lacquaniti, F. (author), Ivanenko, Y.P. (author)Neuroprosthetic technology and robotic exoskeletons are being developed to facilitate stepping, reduce muscle efforts, and promote motor recovery. Nevertheless, the guidance forces of an exoskeleton may influence the sensory inputs, sensorimotor interactions and resulting muscle activity patterns during stepping. The aim of this study was to...journal article 2014

Poldervaart, M.T. (author), Wang, H. (author), Van der Stok, J. (author), Weinans, H.H. (author), Leeuwenburgh, S.C.G. (author), Cumhur Öner, F. (author), Dhert, W.J.A. (author), Alblas, J. (author)The design of bioactive three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds is a major focus in bone tissue engineering. Incorporation of growth factors into bioprinted scaffolds offers many new possibilities regarding both biological and architectural properties of the scaffolds. This study investigates whether the sustained release of bone morphogenetic protein...journal article 2013

Van der Stok, J. (author), Wang, H. (author), Yavari, S.A. (author), Siebelt, M. (author), Sandker, M. (author), Waarsing, J.H. (author), Verhaar, J.A.N. (author), Jahr, H. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Leeuwenburgh, S.C.G. (author), Weinans, H. (author)Porous titanium scaffolds are a promising class of biomaterials for grafting large bone defects, because titanium provides sufficient mechanical support, whereas its porous structure allows bone ingrowth resulting in good osseointegration. To reinforce porous titanium scaffolds with biological cues that enhance and continue bone regeneration,...journal article 2013
