In vivo performance of antibiotic embedded electrospun PCL membranes for prevention of abdominal adhesions [PDF]
, 2007 The aim of this study was to prepare nonwoven materials from poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) and their antibiotic containing forms by electrospinning, so as to prevent postsurgery induced abdominal adhesions in rats. -Caprolactone was first polymerized by ring-

Investigation of the limits of nanoscale filopodial interactions [PDF]
, 2014 Mesenchymal stem cells are sensitive to changes in feature height, order and spacing. We had previously noted that there was an inverse relationship between osteoinductive potential and feature height on 15-, 55- and 90 nm-high titania nanopillars, with ...
