Journal ArticleDOI

Biomedical applications of nanotechnology.

TL;DR: The chemical and physical properties of the surface of these materials allow their use in diagnosis, biosensing and bioimaging devices, drug delivery systems, and bone substitute implants, and toxicology of these particles is discussed in the light of a new field referred to as nanotoxicology that studies the surface effects emerging from nanostructured materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetic analysis of substrate utilization by native and TNAP-, NPP1-, or PHOSPHO1-deficient matrix vesicles.

TL;DR: It is concluded that TNAP is the enzyme that hydrolyzes both ATP and PPi in the MV compartment, and NPP1 does not have a major role in PPi generation from ATP at the level of MVs, in contrast to its accepted role on the surface of the osteoblasts and chondrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of hand held photopolymerizer to photoinactivate Streptococcus mutans.

TL;DR: The photoactivation of Rose Bengal, using the HHP, inactivated the bacteria without affecting the fibroblast viability and it was observed that the light is not toxic and in the dark Rose Bengal is toxic to the cells tested only at concentrations above 2.5 microM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphodiesterase activity is a novel property of alkaline phosphatase from osseous plate.

TL;DR: The alkaline apparent pH optima, the requirement for bivalent metal ions and the inhibition by methylxanthines, amrinone and amiloride demonstrated that rat osseous-plate alkaline phosphatase was a type I phosphodiesterase.
