Pulsed Laser Deposition Derived Bioactive Glass-Ceramic Coatings for Enhancing the Biocompatibility of Scaffolding Materials [PDF]
Materials, 2020 The purpose of this work was to propose and evaluate a new composition for a bioactive glass-ceramic starting from the well-known 45S5 commercial product. Thus, we developed a modified version, including MgO, an oxide that turned out to induce superior mechanical properties and improved biological response.

Evaluation of Biocompatibility and Release of Reactive Oxygen Species of Aluminum Oxide-Coated Materials [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2016 Surface properties of biomaterials can strongly influence biomaterial-host interactions. For this reason, coating processes open a wide range of possibilities to modulate the fate of a biomaterial in the body. This study evaluates the effect of a coating material intended for drug delivery capsules on biocompatibility and the release of reactive oxygen
